Geron Williams wins stage one; Shaquille Agard takes Time Trials; final stage today Reigning National Road Race champion Geron Williams who just recently signed a one year extension with Professional Cycling Club, Team Foundation of the USA, celebrated in fine style when he pedaled to victory in stage one of the National Sports Commission (NSC) sponsored Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) 3-stage road race which commenced yesterday. A member of local club side Continental Cycle Club, Williams outsprinted Alanzo Greaves who has returned from a 12-month drugs ban (Adverse Analytical Finding of Testosterone in his urine sample) to yesterdayâs opening stage which commenced at Carifesta Av e n u e p r o c e e d e d t o Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara and returned to the starting line for the finish.

while the top three veterans were Raymond Newton (2:39.51), Paul Choo-WeeNam (2:39.51) and Junior Niles (2:45.62). Williams and Newton won two of the 10 primes each, while there was one apiece for Orville Hinds, Jaikarran Sukhai, Greaves, Anthony, Cornelius and Stephano Husbands. A total of 29 riders completed the distance including over 60 cyclist Monty âTruck Trackerâ Parris (3:19.25) while a total of 16 did not finish the race. Yesterday afternoonâs Time Trials which saw riders covering a distance of 3.75 miles from Carifesta Avenue to Plaisance, East Coast Demerara was won by Linden Bauxite Flyers Cycle Clubâs Shaquelle Agard in a time of 10 Minutes 42 Seconds. Agard won from fellow Lindener Michael Anthony (Team Evolution) who completed the course in 8 Minutes 54 Seconds with the other top eight places going to Geron Williams (8:57), Christopher Cornelius (9:03), Akeem Wilkinson
(9:07), Raymond Newton (9:13), Raphael Leung and Andrew Hicks who were both timed at 9:33. Twentyseven riders contested this event. Todayâs final stage will see the cream of the nations riders returning to familiar grounds when they match pedals around the outer circuit of the National Park where history was created last week in the Digicel Breast Cancer Awareness race which saw riders being lapped on this circuit for the first time. No doubt, Williams, Greaves, Agard and company would be aiming to haul in early any riders showing early ambitions of an early breakaway. With both Jamal John and Raul Leal, the duo etching their names in history as the men to lap riders around this circuit for the first time not finishing yesterdayâs first stage, itâs anybodyâs guess as who would be todayâs third and final stage winner. Up for grabs is $400,000 in prizes, compliments of the NSC. Race time today is 11:00hrs.
