Njisane takes San Fernando Cycling Extravaganza

The ace TT cyclist later showed a good turn of speed as he kept up with Bramble in the Keirin, after they left the bunch in an all-out battle for the title. Bramble was not to be denied, though, racing across the line first. The two shared the spoils in the Elite Men sprinting for the night as Phillip finished 1st in the Sprint, 500m event and the Six Lap, while Bramble secured the Keirin victory.

Teniel Campbell (PSL) continued her dominance in both the Sprint and Endurance events for Elite Women as she swept the top prize in all races for Elite Women, which included the Keirin, 500m, Eight Laps and Four Laps events.

Campbell, who has been showing improved form lately, is keen on defending her Keirin title at the Easter Grand Prix.

In the main 25-lap event for a field of Elite 1,2 Junior, Juvenile and Masters 40-49 cyclists, Joshua Alexander (Team Foundation) and Jovian Gomez (PSL) broke free of the main bunch with 15 laps remaining. The duo lapped the field to set-up a showdown with three laps remaining. Alexander took the win ahead of Gomez, while a late turn of speed by Thireef Smart (Breakaway) saw him round off the top three.

Local cycling continued with the Southern Games Criterium last night in Marabella. The Luces Brothers Memorial Classic will pedal off this evening at Skinner Park from 5pm and then the action continues at Southern Games on the grass track at Guaracara from 1pm, tomorrow afternoon.
