Team Mohammed’s Prince ready for Jamaica challenge
The defender who retired in October 2016 after an emotional loss to the Jamaica at the Leonora Stadium will be suiting up one again for his country
Caribbean Motor Racing Championships…
After annihilating the field last year at the final leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) held at the South Dakota Circuit, Bryce Prince is aiming to extend his dominance to the entire Caribbean.
The 2016 Moto America Champion who rides under Team Mohammed’s Enterprise is currently in Jamaica preparing for the first leg which gets underway today at the Jamwest Raceway.
When Guyana Times Sport contacted him, he stated “I feel that the CMRC series is very competitive, and a lot of these tracks being new to me, I expect that it will be a good fight”.
Bryce also explained that his series this year has yielded in-different performances but is still pleased.
“Our season back in the states has been tough; my first season on the 1000cc, we have gotten multiple to 5th place finishes and we were on the podium in one but it has been good”.
The Yamaha R6 rider is up for the unique challenge of the tracks in the Caribbean, “the Caribbean tracks are smaller for sure, the tracks in the states are very big; I like the Caribbean tracks for the 600cc; the surface here is a little more rough, but it’s not too bad”.
Prince is extremely grateful for the support of Mohammed’s Enterprise which extends to him riding in the United Sates and is encouraging fellow riders to come for the experience and challenging tracks.
The other members of team Guyana are Rameez Mohammed, who will ply his trade in Groups 2, 3 and 4 (two-wheel drive), while Nasrudeen Mohammed who will compete in Group Two.
Kevin Persaud, John Bennet and Heemand Boodram are the other Super Stock (600cc) riders.
After the leg in Jamaica, the action will move to Trinidad and Tobago on July 30 followed by Barbados on September 3 then to Guyana for the final leg on November 12.
Last year, Trinidad and Tobago, who lost the title in 2015 by eight points to Guyana, recorded a whopping 1481.5 points, outscoring the second placed Barbados team by 793 points.
Barbados’ tally at the end of the four rounds was 688.5 while Guyana finished in third on 648.5; Jamaica (492) Cayman Islands (60) and CAMS/USA rounded-off the points standings.
However, in the two-wheel category, Guyana soared to the top of the table accumulating 647 points with Trinidad being their closest challenge on 169 points.
