The battle lines will be drawn today as the best cyclists in the nation clash in the 2013 edition of the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) Road Race Championships.
Pedaling off from Carifesta Avenue, the athletes will proceed to the Linden Soesdyke Highway before returning for the conclusion. At stake are championships jersey’s, medals and bragging rights for one year for the winners of the senior, junior, female, veterans Under-50 and Over-50. 
Defending senior champion Orville Hinds, like many other colleagues opted not to compete in yesterday’s Time Trails but they will all be facing starter’s orders today for the Road Race.
England based female defending champion Claire Fraser looks set for a repeat after winning yesterday’s Time Trials from Madewini to the First Toll Station and back. A new junior champion will emerge with last year’s winner, Raynauth Jeffrey graduating to the senior ranks.
Jeffrey has done his physique a whole lot of good after winning the Senior Category of yesterday’s Time Trials. The likes of Alonzo Greaves, Warren Mc Kay and Robin Persaud among others will all be vying for the senior title. An enthralling race is anticipated.
Meanwhile, the Time Trials yesterday was held in blistering sunshine on the Linden Soesdyke Highway, a distance of 10km (6 miles).
