Guyana’s Junior riders outstanding at Bigi Bergi 4 Stage Road Race

Sep 06, 2012 Sports

Guyana’s Junior cyclists continues to turn in excellent performances this season, their latest exploits recorded at the Bigi Bergi 4-Stage Cycle Race which took place in neighboring Suriname last weekend.
Reigning National Junior Road Race Champion Raynauth Jeffrey representing Team Coco’s Guyana placed second overall in the junior category as well as 9th overall in the senior category. His fellow Team Coco’s Guyana teammates, juvenile, Raul Leal competing in the junior division placed third overall ahead of Paul DeNobrega, Guyana placing 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
Based on reports from Suriname by Team Roraima Bikers Club Manager, Brian Allen, the systems employed by the host country to record times and placing were very flawed which led to confusion and mix-up throughout the race.
Despite those hiccups, the Guyanese riders did their best and with better systems, Allen is of the view that Guyana would have dominated all the top positions.
“I am of the firm conclusion that the Guyanese contingent did better than was reported by the Bigi Bergi officials. Alonzo Greaves should have been on the podium, and the juniors, Jeffrey, Leal and DeNobrega made a clean sweep of the junior places.” Guyana’s best placing in the overall category was recorded by the Differently Able cyclist Walter Grant Stuart (Team Coco’s Guyana) who finished fourth just ahead of Senior National Road Race King, Orville who represented the Linden Bauxite Flyers Cycle Club (LBFCC) in Suriname.
Alonzo Greaves (Roraima Bikers club) placed 7th overall with Jeffrey 9th and Rastaff O’Selmo also of LBFCC, 11th.
Gratitude is being extended to Team Coco’s Manager; Miami based Guyanese Ian ‘QB’ Davis for sponsoring the team to Suriname. Roraima Bikers Club is extending thanks to Marcos Trading, CIDI and Ansa Mc al Trading.
Following are the full results of the overall positions and the four stages.
