Add the presence of Paul DeNobrega, Eric Sankar, Geron Williams and Rastaff O’Selmo and the anticipation of a scorching encounter intensifies.
Last year, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Frank Anthony, had implored the riders to strategize, adapting a more cooperative spirit. He had mentioned such strategies employed by the team Coco representatives who had clinched the lion’s share of the prizes. Mr. Anthony is expected to be at the finishing line tomorrow morning.
Most of the overseas riders, especially of the Cocos team, will not be here this weekend, but the local junior brigade is expected to represent. Fast times and a competitive race is expected today and tomorrow.
