Team Cocoas rider takes top honours as event gets underway
Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport Annual Three Stage Cycle Road Race
Frank Traveiso, representing Team Cocoas of Miami, rode a brilliant race from Corriverton to New Amsterdam and registered 1:14:38secs to capture the honours in the first stage but it was Cveli Santos with a timing of 2:18:38secs that rebounded to take the second stage from Rosignol to Carifesta Avenue when action in the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport Annual Three Stage Cycle Road Race got underway yesterday morning.
Cveli Santos marks Raynauth Jeffrey shortly before making his move to take the second leg of the race
Traveiso’s teammate, Ivan Dominguez finished second in the first leg while Jamaican, Marloe Rodman, representing Heatwave finished in the third place. Guyanese, Alonzo Greaves crossed the finish line in the first leg just behind Rodman.
Raynauth Jeffrey salvaged some pride for the Guyanese contingent when he finished behind Santos on Carifesta Avenue, while Maikel Matos and Yomani Pol of team Cocoa occupied the 3rd and 4th place slots. The latter cyclist had taken the overall honours in last year’s edition of the race.
Meanwhile, much was expected of Jude Bentley, whose cycling exploits are well known. However, reports are that the rider crashed out shortly after commencing the second leg and had to abort the race.
Activities continue this morning when the riders commence the third stage from the Mining Town of Linden and conclude in front of the old Ministry of Housing plot, Homestretch Avenue. Up to press time the organizers had not calculated the overall leader and that bit of information will be divulged at the conclusion of the race today.
