IN form team Coco’s Jamal John returned three hours 13 minutes, 6 seconds in winning the 6th Annual Kadir Mohamed 80-mile cycle road race yesterday which was staged along the Georgetown, East Bank and Linden Highway.

The Flying Stars Cycle Club organized event wheeled off from Homestretch Avenue and proceeded along Mandela Avenue before turning on the East Bank Highway to journey to Dora on the Linden Highway before returning to the place of origin for the finish.
The veterans over 45 years of age as well as the juveniles and mountain bikers turned back at the first hill at Splashmin’s Fun Park.
However, it was while at Farm on the East Bank of Demerara that Christopher Griffith, Walter Grant-Stuart and John attacked, but this was short-lived as Raynauth Jeffrey, Orville Hinds, Shaquel Agard Alonzo Ambrose, Andrew Hicks and Geron Williams connected to the trio and together they battled for positions.
