John credits use of cycling knowledge after claiming five in five

– cyclist seeking sponsors to travel to Colombia in 2023

Knowledge is power. That has been the method of success for Guyana’s number one cyclist Jamual John, who is in top form, having recording five wins in a row. In a comment invited by Guyana Times Sport, John spoke about what has worked for him, and about his plans for the near future.
The consistent rider, who was riding in the United States earlier this year, also participated in the Tour of Tobago. He noted that his high level of fitness played a pivotal role in his success. “I was not training over here (in Guyana). Coming into the Tobago Classic, it was about keeping the fitness that has played a big part in me winning those five races,” John divulged.
Asked what he is doing differently from his fellow cyclists, John said: “It has to be something different, because I am racing overseas for the past couple years. I think it is the experience and training throughout the year (that) helped me to win five straight races.”
Winning is certainly a habit for top cyclist Jamual John, and being equipped with that asset has procured favour for him. “In my entire career, this may not (have) been the best form, but I have a little more knowledge, using less energy in the race, and showing more experience,” he said.
This champion athlete is planning to travel to Colombia next year, and is currently focused on seeking sponsorship. “No overseas trip for now, until next year. I am trying to focus and get sponsorship for training in Colombia. I want to do something better in the USA next year,” he said.
In the last two races, John has been dominant in winning the Duckie Memorial race and the Flying Stars Cycle Club’s 50th Anniversary race, which he clinched in back-to-back days. (Brandon Corlette)
