The seventh edition of the annual Baker’s Memorial Cycling Classic which is organised by the Linden Bauxite Flyers Cycle Club (LBFCC) came off yesterday in the Bauxite Mining Town with a bang and saw Team Coco’s Hamza Eastman pedaling to victory in the open event.
Eastman who clocked Two Hours 30 Minutes 20 Seconds to win the 60-mile showdown also won 9 sprint prizes as he outsprinted Deerag Garbarran in a two-way sprint to the finish line.
Jamal John, Paul DeNobrega, Curtis Dey and Walter Grant-Stuart completed the top six places in that order.
United We Stand Cycle Club’s Briton John won the Junior Category Ajay Gopilall and Adealie Hodge in that order while the Under-45 clash saw Paul Choo-Wee-Nam winning from Junior Niles and Ralph Williams. Jonathan Ramchushit was the leading juvenile followed by Esau Lowden.
Shenika Texiera and Abigale Jeffery were the two females that competed and finished in that order. The race which rolled off from outside the Baler’s residence at the GTT Junction saw the riders going through the Town before returning to the starting point for the commencement of the event.
They riders then proceeded to the Linden Highway before turning back at the Moblissa Hill, doing that circuit three times. The Baker’s family expressed gratitude to the cyclists and officials for coming out in their numbers to make the event, which is held in memory of their late mother, father and sister, possible. Attractive cash prizes and trophies were handed over to the top six seniors and the top three in the other categories.
Grant0-Stuart was presented with a special prize apart from his 6th place reward. He is expected to leave Guyana later this week to compete at the UCI C1 Para-Cycling Event at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada this month end.
Sponsors of the event were Squadra, Sports Plus, The Baker’s Family & Friends and Clear Water Guyana Inc.
