Sixteen-year-old Team Coco’s Cycle Club member Raul Leal was admitted to the Emergency Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital after he collided with a mini bus at Meadow Brook Gardens whilst training yesterday afternoon.
Leal, who recently returned from a one month High Performance training stint in Colombia and who also competed in the just concluded NSC Independence three-stage road race, suffered a broken right hand and left foot as well bruises and a swollen left eye.
In a show of support for the young and promising rider, his fellow colleagues, on hearing of the accident were present at the hospital to comfort Leal and his relatives following this most unfortunate accident.
The cyclists are calling for proper training facilities that will keep the nation’s riders away from the dangerous road way citing the high level of indiscipline that is practiced on a daily basis by many drivers using the roads, especially mini bus and taxi drivers.
The riders are calling on the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport for assistance
and the Guyana Cycling Federation to meet and discuss the possibility of a proper training venue for cyclists noting that it is long overdue. They are wishing Leal a speedy recovery.
Where is the BETTER MANAGEMENT/RENEGOTIATION OF THE OIL CONTRACTS you promised Jagdeo?
