TWENTY-year-old Guyanese cyclist Shaquel Agard will join a star-studded Team Econo Car to compete in two road races in Trinidad and Tobago, starting on Sunday.

According to information received, the Guyana Cycling Federation’s (GCF) Most Improved Cyclist for 2016 was invited by the management of Team Econe Car, Roger Farrel and Peter Sue, to be a part of Team Econo Car’s make-up, which includes cyclists from the Caribbean, North and South America and Europe.
He is being assisted financially by Duckie’s General Store and Qualitest Laboratory, both of Guyana, to make the journey to the Twin Island Republic.
On Sunday, Agard will work with the team for the Michael Phillips Republic Day Classic in Port of Spain, Trinidad, while from September 27 he will also be a part of the team for the Tobago Cycling Classic which will culminate on October 3 on Beacon Avenue, Tobago, with a criterium race.
Earlier this year, the Linden Bauxite Flyers cyclist spent some time in Pennsylvania, USA, training under the watchful eyes of United States’ Master Criterium champion, Guyanese Aubrey Gordon.
The Tobago Classic is a UCI-sanctioned event.
