Ian ‘Dumb Boy’ Jackson rose to the top podium spot at the end of the feature 35-lap School Boys and Invitational race of the seventh annual Diamond Mineral Water 11-race cycling programme at the inner circuit of the National Park on Saturday last.
A field of 29 starters got things going, with a number of cyclists being either lapped or dropped out of the feature contest, it was Jackson who prevailed from the small group that remained.
He clocked one hour, 19 minutes, 13 seconds, copping one of the eight prime prizes on offer.
Seon Alves finished second, while Marlon Williams, Paul DeNobrega, Eric Sankar and Walter Grant-Stuart rounded out the top six in that order.
Sankar claimed two prime prizes, while there was one apiece for Alves, Grant-Stuart, Robin Persaud, Raynauth Jeffrey, and Orville Hinds.
Other winners on the day included Naomi Singh, Shameer Baksh, Virgil Jones, Maurice Fagundes, Raynauth Jeffrey, Nigel Jacobs, Isaiah Sahadeo, Drayton John, Adrian Sharma and Makel Dias.
The event was sponsored exclusively by Demerara Distillers Limited under its Diamond Mineral Water brand. The company was represented by Ms. Alexis Crawford and Management Trainee, Ms. Trishwantie Doodnauth.
Both Crawford and Doodnauth expressed their company’s delight at being part of the activity.
Hassan Mohamed, National coach and organiser of the event, thanked DDL for its assistance, noting the importance of corporate support towards the success of sport.
He added that the riders will be back in action again next weekend with the staging of a road race on the West Demerara roadways.
