Briton John secures historic 2nd place at 33rd Tour Cycliste de Guiana

The ever-consistent Briton John has announced himself on the international stage with a historic 2nd place finish in the just-concluded 33rd Tour Cycliste de Guiana in French Guiana, the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) has confirmed.
According to a missive from the Federation, John was just 9 seconds shy of claiming the overall yellow jersey, making this one of the closest finishes in the history of the race.
John’s achievement is particularly significant as it marks the first time in 25 years that a Guyanese cyclist has made it to the final podium in this prestigious event. John’s exceptional performance is a testament to his dedication, skill, and determination.

Curtis Dey, who also completed the entire race, provided invaluable support to Briton John throughout the competition. His commitment and teamwork played a crucial role in this outstanding result. Unfortunately, the other members of Team Guyana were unable to complete the race due to various challenges, but their efforts and perseverance remain commendable.
The entire cycling community in Guyana is joining the Guyana Cycling Federation in celebrating this historic achievement. To honour Briton John, Curtis Dey, and the team’s efforts, a simple reception will be held in recognition of their success and contribution to Guyanese cycling.
Their achievement represents a significant milestone for cycling in Guyana, and serves as an inspiration for future generations of cyclists.
The Guyana Cycling Federation has noted its pride at the team’s performance, and has said it looks forward to building on this success in future years.
