Come Saturday, for the eight consecutive year, Banks DIH, through their Malta Supreme brand, will sponsor the Malta Supreme 11-race cycling programme organized by national cycling coach, Hassan Mohamed.

However, the likes of Jamual John (Team Coco’s), Romello Crawford (Trojan PSL), National Road Race champions Curtis Dey (Trojan PSL), Andrew Hicks (Trojan PSL), Paul DeNobrega (Team Evolution) and Raynauth Jeffrey, will all be gunning for glory this year.
