Greene pedals away with 25-lap race

“CYCLIST OF The Year 2002” Elisha Greene sped away with the 25-lap event during yesterday’s warm-up races ahead of the Beacon Insurance Cycling Series.

Greene sped to the front in the final two laps — which saw the riders starting and finishing opposite Cricket Wicket Pub on Tragarete Road, Port-of-Spain — and was unable to be caught by the chasing pack. Runner-up was Joshua Alexander while Winzy Mohammed, currently on a comeback, was third. Veteran Clinton Grant crossed the finishing line first in the open one-lap sprint, with Adam Alexander and Ako Kellar trailing while Alexander (A) rebounded to win the juniors six-laps, ahead of Haseem McLean and Christopher Sellier. Races were also staged at the Arima Municipal Stadium on Saturday with Greene copping the sprint final ahead of Winzy Mohammed and Ako Kellar. Godfrey Cline took the veterans three-laps, followed by Simon Spicer and Ronald Peters while Sellier claimed the juniors three-laps, with McLean and Gustavo Jacob trailing.
