After a brief five-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cycling Classic makes a triumphant return. The event, conceived by retired cyclist and administrator Hassan Mohamed, promises to showcase some of the nation’s top cycling talent, all vying for championship glory.

P&P Insurance continues to demonstrate its commitment to local sports, particularly cycling, by sponsoring the Classic once again. Their support remains vital in fostering athletic development in Guyana. This year’s competition is expected to be bigger and better, with organisers eager to deliver a thrilling spectacle after the long break.

“In a brief conversation with Mr. Bish Pandy, seeking sponsorship, his response was immediate. He simply asked, ‘What took you so long? Come into the office and let’s make it happen,” Dowridge recalled.

With P&P Insurance Brokers’ continued backing, expectations are high for increased participation and spectator engagement. The organisers are confident that this year’s Classic will set new benchmarks in competitive cycling and event organization.
