Naturally disappointed, Guyana’s team to the Junior Caribbean Cycling Championships were forced to abort their journey to the Dominican Republic yesterday after President of the Guyana Cycling Federation Cheryl Thompson received an email from President of the Caribbean Cycling Federation Trevor Bailey confirming the postponement due to the threat of ‘Tropical Storm Isaac’.
The Guyana team of junior riders Raynauth Jeffrey, Paul DeNobrega and juveniles Raul Leal and Michael Anthony along with Manager Wayne DeAbreu were about to board the flight in Trinidad and Tobago when President Thompson got in touch with DeAbreu to break the news to him. Their luggage had to be taken off the flight and they were due to arrive back home last evening.
Kaieteur Sport also learnt that the championships are now set for October 14 and 15 in the Dominican Republic.
The Guyana team was fully sponsored by Manager of the Miami based Team Cocoas, Guyanese Ian Davis aka QB. Davis, who can be described as the Good Samaritan of cycling had invested US$4,500 towards the participation and encouragement of these junior and juvenile riders for the Caribbean championships.
Team Cocoas has been coming to Guyana over the past few years to compete in the annual 5-stage and 3-stage races with a 100% success record.
Davis has pumped into the cycling fraternity over US$50,000 in brand new racing cycles that have been donated to junior, veteran and female riders as a means of encouraging them to greater success in the sport.
Meanwhile, Mr. Davis will also be sponsoring Team Cocoas Guyana to the Suriname 4-stage championships from August 30 to September 2.
