The best is yet to come-Vieira
He is the King of the Superbike at all levels and Guyana’s leading racer Stephen ‘Valentino Rossi’ Vieira told Kaieteur Sport shortly after dominating the Caribbean ‘Race of Champions’ Meet last Sunday, at the South Dakota Circuit that 2013 could see him shattering many of the existing records.
Vieira, who has been the Caribbean and Local champion in the Superbike Series, described 2012 as another successful year for him following up of last year’s performance when he crushed the opposition both at home and abroad.
A usually reserved individual who normally prefers to do the talking on the track felt confident enough to come out of that comfort zone to announce how confident he is heading into next year’s competitions which he believes will be another breakthrough year for him and one that could separate him from all contenders.
Caribbean champion Stephen Vieira waves the chequered flag after winning the second race last Sunday.
Fully fit now after surviving a horrific accident in Suriname thanks to his Trainer Kezqweyah Yisrael of Top End Fitness Gym, who he credited for bringing him back into competition shape just ahead of the final leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC), Vieira completely obliterated the opposition, winning two races in convincing fashion, before starting at the top of the homestretch, but could only manage third to crown an impressive performance that allowed him to be named champion rider for the CMRC and the Meet.
Once in the shadows of Canadian speedster Kevin Graham for a number of years, the local speed ace has now graduated to the extent where he has now relegated the Canadian to be the one trailing him, a stark improvement from the days when the positions were reversed.
The repeat CMRC title holder, Vieira extended thanks to his main sponsor Sunburst Orange Juice, especially Managing Director Mr. Puri, who he intimated has stood firm behind him over the years and for this he is indeed thankful, Marcel Profitt, another loyal friend and someone who ensures his machine is in top shape and Pointer.
So cocky is the two-time Caribbean champion that he is predicting very early that the best is yet to come.
