HAVANA. Bermudian cyclists Kaden Hopkins and Caitlin Conyers, were crowned on Saturday as the first holders of the Caribbean Road Championship, which opened its competitive activities in the Havana Malecon, in the presence of the president of the International Cycling Union, David Lappartient, and his counterpart in the Americas, José Manuel Peláez.
Hopkins traveled the 33.6 kilometers of the circuit in 45 minutes, 16 seconds and 629 thousandths, to outdo Puerto Rican Abner Gonzalez and Anguilla’s representative, Hasani Hennis, his teammates on the awards podium.
For his part, Caitlin Conyers timed 00: 33: 48.202 minutes, in the 22.4 kilometers of the route, enough to make better time than his two closest escorts, the Cuban Heydy Pradera and the well-known Trinidadian Alexi Costa, silver medalists and bronze, in that order.
This Sunday, from 8:30 in the morning, the 67.2-kilometer route for women will begin, and at 11, the 123.2-kilometer route for men, in a UCI Class 1.2 competition that will award individual scores for The continental ladder. (Copaci Press)
