Motor rider Steven Nobrega is hopeful for another splendid outing when the third leg of the Stag Beer Grass Track Championships gets underway today at the Anna Regina Community Centre Ground on the Essequibo Coast.
Holding a 75-point lead over the second placed Ravi Ramkumar, who has 55 points, Nobrega returns to a venue for which he holds fond memories, since he swept all the races when he last competed there.
Speaking to Guyana Times Sport on Thursday, the rider, sporting a new YZ 125 bike, said, “The chances of winning the championships are very good. I have a new bike, and (I have) been doing a lot of training both on and off the bike.”
The young rider also made an appeal for all to come out in their numbers and support the event, since in his opinion it is the best even to witness.
