Trio named for regional Cycling championships

ST VINCENT AND THE Grenadines will be represented at two regional Cycling championships in the Dominican Republic this week, by the trio of Albert Quammie, Zefal Bailey and England-based Cammie Adams.

The three Vincentians will test their skills on Thursday in the Caribbean Cycling Championships, then the Pan American Championships on Sunday. Thursday’s event will be a 75-mile road race, while Sunday’s road race will be 105 miles.

On Friday the dual championships will see the Caribbean and Pan American cyclists contesting the individual time trials. However, the Vincentians will not be part of this aspect.

Saturday will see the Caribbean Under-23 cyclists vie for places at this year’s Youth Pan American Games set for Cali, Colombia in November.

Apart from Quammie, Bailey and Adams, the St Vincent and the Grenadines team is completed by Emmerson Holder, manager/ mechanic.

President of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Cycling Union Trevor Bailey, will attend the championships in his capacity as president of the Caribbean Cycling Federation.
