Team Tokio Victoria Park Criterium Results

April 10, 2016

Matthew Oliveira [Winners Edge] lapped the rest of the field on his way to capturing his first victory of the 2016 road racing season this morning [April 10] at the Team Tokio criterium around Victoria Park in Hamilton.

In the Adult A category Oliveira jumped from the gun and went solo for virtually the entire 45 minutes. Once he had caught the field he was able to comfortably sit at a sustainable pace while the remaining riders fought for second place. In the end it was Darren Glasford [Winners Edge] edging out Kwame Curling [Madison Digicel].

In the Adult B race Ricky Smith [Winners Edge] lead the group sprint after 40 minutes of racing, less than a tenth of a second ahead of McQuinn Burch [Bicycle Works] who was followed by Sean Dickinson. Adult C was taken by veteran Paulo Medeiros [Winners Edge] ahead of string of teenagers, Ben Edwards and Ziani Burgesson [both BCA] finishing second and third.

Sarah Bonnett [Madison Digicel] raced to victory in the Women group, beating Karen Smith [Winners Edge] followed by Wenda Roberts [Bicycle Works]. The new category Novice Women had their first event which started with some demonstration of racing skills and tactics followed by a short seen lap race.

Louise Wells [MisFits] and CorraLee Stoarzomski [MisFits] took and early lead and held it to the line with Wells getting the first win in this new group series. Third place went to their teammate Frances Betts.

The Junior A victory went to Caleb Ingham followed by Liam Flannery and then Alex Southern. Blake Oliveira took the Junior B race ahead of Nicholas Narraway and Manning Smith.

Next week is the Butterfield Bermuda Grand Prix beginning on Friday evening in St. George.

    Why does the COH allow most of the city to close at 10am on a sunday morning?

    For what, for 40 people to have a bike ride, whilst hundreds (check the queues) are made late, us included. Ok it is a sunday not a monday, but still there is plenty happening in Hamilton. I walked into my daughter’s dance lesson 20 mins late, because we couldn’t park and had to walk from miles away.

    This really needs to be moved to 7am, or to St George’s etc. Completely unecessary.

    Why don’t you have a moan about the food festival on Front St while you’re at it. We live in a very limited space which means we have to SHARE that space at times, which also means sometimes people are a little inconvenienced. So you had to walk a couple blocks, so what? Are you trying to claim that this event is less important than your daughter’s dancing? Don’t be so selfish…
