Griffith set to defend 15th annual Laparkan Holdings title

Guyana’s top cyclists will battle today, Saturday September 28, in the 15th annual Laparkan Holdings 11-Race Cycle programme at the National Park on Thomas Lands from 09:00h.

Today’s feature event is a 35-lap schoolboys and invitational race.
Hassan Mohammed, the champion organizer for cycling, is again involved in today’s event, and Laparkan Human Resources Manager Lynette Shivlochan will grace the event with her presence to distribute prizes to the top cyclists.
Defending champion of the Laparkan Holdings race, Christopher Griffith of Team Evolution, will be aiming to successfully defend his title, but the ‘Bad’ Johns, Briton and Jamual (not related), may have other plans for that title.
Besides, Curtis Dey, Andre Hicks, Andre Green, Christopher Griffith, Marcus Keiler and Kemuel Moses will also be looking to upset Griffith in his title defence. Paul De Nobrega and Michael Anthony, also big names in cycling, will be looking to regain momentum after being out-of-form in the circuits.
In the 2018 event, Team Evolution’s Griffith won the 35-lap schoolboys and invitational race in the highly competitive time of one hour 18 minutes 32 seconds; David Hicks won the 12-14 boys category, while veteran Leer Nunes won the veterans Under-50 category.
Donovan Fraser clinched the juvenile class, Quincy Punch won the mountain bike category, Neshawn Rigby won the BMX 6-9 category, and Shaquille Dow won the BMX 9-12 and 12-14 categories.
