LINDENER Michael Anthony won the feature event of the inaugural Nauth’s Motor Sales sponsored 11-race cycle programme in the National Park yesterday.

The programme which was conducted by national cycle coach Hassan Mohamed saw Alonzo Ambrose, Mark Harris and Stephen Fernandes going on a break during the first lap, but three laps later, Anthony joined the trio.
The quartet stayed together until the 20th lap of the 35-lap event when Harris was dropped and five laps later Ambrose, who seemed unfit, fell away leaving the young veteran and former national hockey player Fernandes battling it out in the end. Anthony then out-sprinted his Team Gillette Evolution team mate Fernandes to take top honours.
During the 35-lap race, Anthony won five of the eight prime prizes that were up for grabs, while Ambrose who crossed the finish line in third won two primes, the other prime was won by Fernandes.
Akeem Wilkinson, another Team Gillette Evolution member placed fourth and his team mate Orville Hinds finished sixth behind Paul DeNobrega.
In other results, the 10-lap race for juveniles was won by Jamal John. Second was Campbell Moses and finishing third was Brighton John.
Toshwana Doris won the three-lap race for boys and girls 12-14 years old. Second was Ronaldo Narine.
Junior Niles won the five-lap race for veterans’ under 50 years of age. Second was Shameer Baksh and third was Jaikarran Sukhai.
