2nd WSUCC “One Guyana” Bartica Cycling Classic: Trophy Stall donates trophy for winner in Senior category

The Trophy Stall at Bourda Market, a long-time supporter of all sports, has again stepped in to assist, this time coming on board the 2nd edition of the We Stand United Cycle Club’s “One Guyana” Cycling Classic which is set for staging on Sunday, 5th March, in association with the Mayor and Town Council of Bartica.
Ms. Saleema Hussain, a representative of Trophy Stall owner Ramesh Sunich, on Wednesday, March 1, handed over a trophy that would be presented to the winner of the Elite/Senior category of the race.
Ms. Hussain expressed delight that Trophy Stall and Mr. Sunich are keeping the tradition of support for this event alive. She noted that the entity was very much a part of the inaugural event in March 2019, which was a huge success.
“So, we did not hesitate to continue this support, as we are well aware of the positive impact the first event had, not only on the community from a cycling perspective, but the fact that many of the youths from Bartica are now holding their own at the higher levels,” she said.
We Stand United CC President Franklin Wilson, in thanking Mr. Sunich and Trophy Stall for their unwavering commitment to this event, and to sports in general, informed the principals that their partnership, along with that of other corporate entities, has silently ignited a positive developmental drive in the sport in Bartica.
“The Trophy Stall is very much a part of this new momentum in cycling that started two years ago, when, for the first time, a major cycling event was held there. As a club, we have answered the call to decentralise sports, and will continue to work with you and all other major stakeholders to see that our youths are given the opportunity to show what they’ve got, and to aid in taking them to the next level, so that Guyana can be dominant in the sport once again,” Wilson has said.
This Bartica event is anticipated to be very explosive, given that the country’s best cyclists have all indicated they would be participating. The likes of defending champion Briton John (We Stand United), Romello Crawford (Unattached), Aaron Newton (We Stand United), Robin Persaud (KFC Evolution), Alexis Mendes (Kaieteur Attack Racing), Warren McKay (We Stand United), Curtis Dey (KFC Evolution), and Paul Nobrega (KFC Evolution), among others, will be battling in the senior as well as Masters Under- and Over-50 classes.
Registration is being done at the Professional Key Shop at Carmichael Street, or at Chin Chan Cycle Store on Robb Street, Georgetown.
