Juniors, juveniles, veterans and ladies battle today

GUYANA’s junior, juvenile, female and veteran racing cyclists will today battle for honours when the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) stages its national road race championships for these categories of riders.
The event wheels off at 08:00hrs from Homestretch Avenue, Georgetown, and will proceed along the East Bank Demerara roadway with some categories turning back at the Linden/Soesdyke Junction.

The juniors and veterans over 45 years of age as well as the females and juveniles will contest a 53-mile race that will see them turning back at the Bottle Neck junction in Timehri, while the veterans under 45 years of age will proceed to camp Wesleyana on the Linden Highway before returning to the place of origin for the finish, a total of 70 miles.
The senior road race is set for next Sunday where only cyclists in the under-45 years age group will be allowed to compete along with the seniors and not the juniors as was previously stated by the GCF. United Kingdom based Guyanese, Claire Fraser-Green will be defending her ladies road race title which she won last year for a fourth consecutive time and will be looking to make it five in a row.

Like Fraser-Green, Christopher Cornelius who won the junior road race last year along with the individual time trial, will be seeking to make a successful defence of that title, but is expected to be hard pressed by the likes of Briton John, Curtis Dey and Jason Cameron, among others.
