Guyanese cyclist Geron Williams, who is training in the United States and competing with Team Foundation, recorded one of the biggest performances of his career when he won the fourth and final stage of the Tour of TnT Independence Classic in the Twin Island Republic and also finished second overall.
When this year’s edition of the tour ended on Sunday morning last at the Mucurapo Foreshore it was the young Guyanese Williams, who had two previous podium finishes on Stage 1 and 2, finally stepping into the top tier of the podium.
Earlier in the race, Adam Alexander, Williams’ team mate and Byron Anson (Team Petrotrin) broke away from the bunch from as early as the first 20km of the race. The two stayed away until the peloton drew them back as they neared the Grand Bazaar intersection on their way heading back into Port of Spain.
With a mad dash for the finish line, it was Williams who had the winning flick to the line, just beating Jamol Eastmon (Heatwave) and Joshua Alexander (Team Foundation) to the line. Akil Campbell was the pick of the juniors’ on this stage, finishing just ahead of Joshua Kelly and Edwin Sutherland. The three juniors represented Rigtech Sonics.
Trinidad and Tobago veteran Emile Abraham of Team Predator, who led the standings coming into the final stage, ended in fourth position and that was just enough to hold onto his lead with 42 points to take the overall top spot.
The fact that Williams won the final stage in exciting fashion saw him leap frog Calixto Bello of Team Predator/USA to finish second overall on 40 points, Bello ending on 38.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
