Crawford wins second annual Eon Amsterdam Cycle Race in NA

Guyana’s national cycling champion Romello Crawford defeated his Berbician counterparts over the weekend at the second annual Eon Amsterdam Cycle Race, held in the town of New Amsterdam.

The race pedalled off from Republic Road and Charles Place at 10:00h, and headed towards Vryheid Street. From there its participants almost flew to Main and Philadelphia Street, before returned to the point of origin to complete one lap. There were 10 laps in this race.
Crawford stopped the clock in 25 minutes and 27 seconds, pipping Andre “Padlock” Green, Junior Nyles and Syborne Fernandes in that order.
In the junior category, Mario Washington came in first, followed by Richard Crandon and Joseph Cumberbatch. In the veterans’ category, seasoned campaigner Junior Nyles took top honours, followed by Fernandes and Travis Cipriani in that order.
Eight sprint prizes were up for grabs. Washington took one, Green took three, and Crawford took four. This race was the second annual event sponsored by Eon Amsterdam, a former Assistant Commissioner of Police and former Commander of Region Six. He was celebrating his 60th birthday, and hosted this cycling event.
Certificates of appreciation were presented to executives of the Flying Ace Cycling Club. Recipients were Pearl Arokium, Randolph Roberts, Mursalin Bacchus, Balram Narine, Fiazal Ali and Floyd Hazel.
The Flying Ace Cycling Club is thanking the Guyana Police Force for their guidance, and the Amsterdam family for being on hand to make the presentations. According to Flying Ace Cycling Coach and President Randolph Roberts, this event would be expanded in the upcoming years.
