Guyana’s top local cyclists will do battle today in the 13th Annual Laparkan Holding Limited 11-race cycling programme.
Organised by National Cycling Coach Hassan Mohamed, the day’s activities will pedal off at 09:00h, and will feature the leading senior riders and up-and-coming talents in the country.
Mohamed is expecting a large turnout, as riders would be keen on racking up points towards the back-end of the season.
The day’s event will be highlighted by the gruelling 35-lap Schoolboys and Invitational race, which is set to attract a large group of starters.
It will be a showdown between the seasoned campaigners and the emerging talents, in the midst of which Team Coco’s
will look to defend his title won last year.
Niles, classified a veteran Under-50 rider, won the 35-lap race last year in a time of one hour, 18 minutes, 55 seconds.
Brighton John is the defending champion of the 10-lap Junior/Juvenile race, while Lennox Jackman had won the 5-lap Veteran Under-50 event back in 2016. Also in winner’s row last year was Ozia McAulay in the 5-lap Mountain Bike race.
Top officials of Laparkan Holding Limited, including Human Resources Manager Lynette Shivlochan, will be on hand to witness the races and later assist in the presentation of prizes.
