Abraham wins all in Harricrete ride

NATIONAL road cycling champion Emile Abraham proved his class on the local circuit when he won the Harricrete-sponsored Winner Takes All 30-lap race in front of the Cricket Wicket Pub, Tragarete Road, Port of Spain,   yesterday.

The Tobago-born wheelsman, who maintained within striking distance of the pack for most of the race, won in a time of 54 minutes 41 seconds, and secured the $3,000 jackpot in the novel event organised by Phillips Promotions. Runner-up was Shannon Metivier, son of former Arima Mayor Edward Metivier while the veteran David Alves finished third. Also involved in the day’s events were cyclists from Europe and the Caribbean, as they prepared for this weekend’s Southern Games at Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre as well as the forthcoming Beacon Insurance Company Limited West Indies versus The World Series.
