The Bermuda Bicycle Association [BBA] announced the Junior Cycling Team that will be representing Bermuda at the Junior Caribbean Road Championships, taking place in Saint Martin on August 10th and 11th.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Bicycle Association [BBA] is pleased to announce that our Junior Cycling Team will be representing Bermuda at the prestigious Junior Caribbean Road Championships, taking place in Saint Martin on August 10th and 11th. This event will see our talented young cyclists compete against the best junior riders from across the Caribbean region.
“The Bermuda team includes three riders in the Pre-Junior category: Zachery Moniz, Andrew Thomas, and Skye Ferguson. In the Junior category, Charlotte Millington will proudly wear Bermuda’s colours. Although Keon Stevenswas also named to the team, last-minute issues unfortunately prevented him from traveling with the team. The team remains focused and determined as they embark on this exciting challenge.
“The Junior Caribbean Road Championships will feature two challenging events: the Individual Time Trial on Saturday, August 10th, and the Road Race on Sunday, August 11th. These races will test the skills, endurance, and mental toughness of our cyclists as they navigate the demanding courses of Saint Martin.
