Home Sports Junior Cycling Quartet jets off to Barbados
Junior cyclists Nigel Duguid, Curtis “Chappy” Dey and Briton John, along with Juvenile cyclist Jonathan Ramsuchit, will fly off to Barbados today to compete at the Junior Road Caribbean Cycling Championships over the weekend (November 4-5).
Despite receiving precious little corporate support, the quartet will be making the trip as its members were able to secure their tickets at great personal sacrifice. Fortunately The Barbados Cycling Federation will stand their accommodation and eating expenses.
Briton John is currently the country’s leading junior cyclist, having had relative success at the Junior World Championships last month. However, Dey has been tearing up the roadways, enjoying top six finishes in the last few cycling meets in Guyana. Nigel Duguid is also in good form, and it will be to the trio’s advantage if they work as a team in the 100-kilometre race in Barbados.
Meanwhile Jonathan Ramsuchit, Guyana’s leading Juvenile rider, will face 70 kilometres of road without any teammate or partner. However, Ramsuchit is more than capable of handling himself, and will be looking for a finish in the top 10 at least.
