A number of questions are expected to be answered today when the cyclists pedal off for the inaugural Banks DIH Malta Supreme 40 mile cycle road race organised by the Flying Ace Cycling Club. The race, which is expected to bring together all of the top riders in Berbice, will pedal off from in front of the Banks DIH New Amsterdam Branch at Main and New Streets and proceed to Adventure on the Corentyne before returning to its place of origin.
Prizes will be awarded to the first six finishers in the open category, while the first two juniors, the first two females, first veteran and first four beginners will be rewarded.
The female cyclists will cover ten miles, while all the others will go the full distance.
A grueling encounter is expected between top cyclists Neil Reece and Dwight Holder as the two champion cyclists renew their rivalry.
Holder dominated the first part of the year on the road with Reece making a strong come back and anything is expected today since both cyclists showed good form during practice. Thus today’s encounter is expected to bring out the best of the two men. Cycling fans will want to be at the finishing line to get a glimpse of the race and will see who will end the year on top. Apart from the two riders, one should not over look other riders in Elijah Brijadar, Ray Millington, Wasim Hassnu and Rohan Persaud who are always among the top finishers. Top female rider Marica Dick is expected to take charge among the females.
This is the second cycle race being sponsored by the company for Berbice cyclists in collaboration with the FACC following the successful staging of the ‘Aqua Mist’ race earlier this year.
The Malta Supreme is a new produce on the market and the organizers plan to make this an annual event.
Top Banks Berbice officials Reginald Matthews and Joshua Terrazzo will be on hand to send the riders on their way and present the prizes at the end of the race. The coordinator is Randolph Roberts. (Samuel Whyte)
