Cyclists to try for mark again

LOCAL cyclists will have to re-ride the Trinidad and Tobago Cycling Federation Championship 10-mile event.

Because of an error in the number of laps, the race was ordered re-ridden. And a date for the re-ride will be determined at a meeting of the racing committee. But the re-ride will take place on the same day the racing committee proposes to allow cyclists a further attempt at achieving the “B” World Championship times. Adam Alexander of Warriors won the Juniors 10-mile ride, beating team-mate  Christopher Sellier, with Brendon Jacobs (Carl King Southclaine) getting the bronze and Stephen Rambaran (Southampton Wheelers) placing fourth. At the TTCF National Championships, which ended on Sunday, champions were crowned in 10 events.

Elisha Greene of Toyota Madonna took the gold in the Kierin event, with Clinton Grant (unattached) getting the silver and Ako Kellar (Heat Wave) bronze. But despite his triumph, Azikiwe Kellar (Heat Wave) was the champion senior rider overall, accumulating 10 points. The champion junior was Christopher Sellier (Warriors) with 17 points, while Richard Ramchand (Warriors) was the top Veteran (40-plus) with 20 points. Ronald Peters (Toyota Madonna) got 16 points to finish as the leading Veteran (50-plus), while Joey Nunes (Southampton Wheelers) with 11 points headed the Veterans (60-plus).
