The last local cycle race, held on Sunday March 5, has seen We Stand United rider Jamual John clinching the top spot. John won the “One Guyana” Bartica Cycling Classic Road Race held on Sunday last in Bartica. That event was restarted after the first edition in 2019 after being a victim of COVID-19, like all the other sports.
Last Sunday’s event was well supported by local fans, who turned out in their numbers to rally their local cyclists, who did well, apart from having another first-hand taste of the best cyclists in Guyana.
