John signaled his intentions early on but had to overcome the challenges of his rivals with whom he shared the lead in the early stages of the 35-lap race. However with six laps remaining, John, Paul De Nobrega, Briton John, Christopher Griffith and Curtis Dey broke away from the pack as the pace increased considerably, and it boiled down to a battle among them.
However, John sprinted his way to the finish line ahead of his rivals to win the duel in a time of One Hour 15 Minutes 48 Seconds.
De Nobrega took the 2nd place followed by Briton John, Griffith, Dey and Michael Anthony in that order to complete the top six places. Junior Niles won the Veterans Under-50, 5-lap race in a time of 13 Minutes 05.45 Seconds ahead of Kwame Ridley and Jaikarran Sukhai.
Ian Jackson captured the Veterans Over-50, 5-lap contest with Andy Spencer 2nd and Kennard Lovell, third. The Juvenile 10-lap event was taken by Sherwin Samspon in a time of 21 Minutes 56.14 Seconds while Aaron Newton took the runner up spot.
