GUYANA’S Scott Savory and Alanzo Greaves, who are both based in the United States, continued to do well on the North American circuit with victories over the past weekend.According to reports, Savory (Lupus Racing) holds a slim lead in the ‘I WILL Tuesday Series’ with three races remaining, ahead of Stalin Quitero of Dave Jordan Racing, while Greaves (GS Mengoni) and Hamzah Eastman (Team Coco’s) also make up the top in that event.
Last Saturday, Greaves won the 7th round of the Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup in Prospect Park, New York while Greaves won an exciting sprint finish ahead of fellow Guyanese Jermaine Burrowes (WS United) and Gavriel Epstein of Champion System-Stan’s NoTubes.
This is the second victory by a Guyanese in the Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup Series. The other winner was Hamzah Eastman who won the fifth round in June.
Meanwhile, Romello Crawford (Trojan Cycle Club), Jamal John (Team Coco’s), Andrew Hicks (Trojan Cycle Club) and Raphael Leung (WS United) will be looking to emulate their senior counterparts when they travel to the Dominican Republic to contest the 2015 edition of the Caribbean Junior Cycling Championships set for August 7-9.
The four cyclists, who were selected by the newly installed executive of the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF), are experienced and will be seeking to bring glory to this nation.
The selectees have all been doing well for the past 12 months and are looking forward to doing well for Guyana.
Both Hicks and Leung made their debuts as juveniles last year in Suriname and are looking forward to riding in the junior category this year.
The lone medal Guyana got last year was a bronze in the Road Race from Alonzo Ambrose in his final year.
