A Belize Cycling Association (BCA) release earlier this week states that, “Several Belize teams travelled to Cozumel over the weekend to participate in the ‘Copa Gobernador Felix Arturo Gonzalez Canto 2011’”. And Belizean cyclists dominated the event, taking four of the top five prizes. The release did not mention their team names, but cyclists listed and their finishing positions are: 1st Jeovan Leslie (Santino’s), 2nd Nissan Arana (Typhoon), 4th Brandon Cattouse (C-Ray), 5th Allen Castillo (Zamir), 8th Marlon Castillo (Zamir), and 13th Gregory Lovell (Zamir). (The team names included are taken from our most recent records.)
Froggy briefly retired after a disappointing Cross Country last year, but returned in time to make an appearance in the Krem New Year’s Classic 2011, where he placed 16th, in the middle of a bunch of 13 riders.
The next major cycling event will be the 16th Annual Digicell Valentine Classic, which comes up next Sunday, February 13. This weekend, there will be the usual Saturday Race.
