Fittingly, the top riders will not receive any cash incentives at the conclusion of the race but rather see their points tallied for a grand total and reward at the end of the year.

The race will be a 75 mile long journey with the best cyclists coming to the starting line on the East Coast of Demerara in front of the Ocean View Hotel from 8:30h and head east to Mahaicony old bridge where they will turn back to head to the starting point and conclude the race.

President of the GCF, Horrace Burrowes had promised upon the commencement of the 2017 season to have a more integral role into the functioning and organizing of GCF cycling, amongst those six races under the GCF flag.

In the spotlight, there is Team Cocos triplet Hamzah Eastman, Stephano “Sunny” Husbands and Jamaul John, all of whom have some significant performances under their belts as well as Team Evolution’s Paul DeNobrega. Linden Bauxite Flyers’ SHaquel Agard is also amongst those expected to perform well. Andrew Hicks of We Stand United and Team Alanis’ Alanzo Ambrose will be gunning for the title come Sunday.
