Displaying a high level of fitness which has been as a result of consistent competitive riding in the National Park and the many road races so far this season, Niles, Mark Harris and Paul Choo Wee Nam along with Briton John who was dropped after 17 laps, lapped the entire field to underscore their dominance of the race.
Niles, in stopping the clock at One Hour 18 Minutes 53.81 Seconds captured three of the sprint prizes on offer with Harris and Choo Wee Nam claiming two each, while the other went to John.
From the start of the race the quartet set the pace which turned out to be too hot for their rivals to handle, even John who couldn’t keep up after 17 laps.
Hamza Eatsman, Shaquel Agard and Kemeul Moses finished off the top six positions in that order. Niles also rode earlier in the day and placed second in the Veterans Under-50 5-lap contest which was won by Lennox Jackman in 12 Minutes 13.80 Seconds.
