3 young Guyanese cyclists to participate in UCI training programme in T&T

Three young Guyanese cyclists are set to benefit from international exposure, with one already competing overseas and two others preparing to join him for a training programme in Trinidad and Tobago.

Alexander Leung is already in Trinidad and is actively participating in local cycling races. The young rider has also been officially invited to attend a track cycling training camp organised by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) World Cycling Centre.

According to the invitation seen by this publication, the camp will be held at the UCI World Cycling Centre Continental Development Satellite in Couva from April 3 to April 10. Leung is expected to arrive at the camp on April 2 and depart on April 11, during which time he will be based at a hotel in Couva.
Meanwhile, Sidwell Sandy and Ajani Cutting are the other two youngsters who have also been invited to participate in the UCI training initiative. Both riders are expected to join Leung in Trinidad ahead of the camp.

According to a source within the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF), the opportunity forms part of ongoing efforts to expose emerging Guyanese cyclists to higher levels of training and competition, with the trio set to gain valuable experience both on and off the track.
