Strong racing across the board this morning at the Żebbuġ Bypass road race, very well organised by and as part of the Youth National RR Championships and the National Club Race Series 👏
Our U16s were first up, represented by Samwel Attard and Gao Ping. Gao narrowly missed out on a podium finish after a tight sprint, taking 4th in a very well-contested age group. Great effort from both riders.
In the Ladies Open, Lindsey rode a strong race and contested the sprint for victory, narrowly beaten by the fast Diana Muscat. Brilliant 🥈
In the Masters category, David Cushing delivered a superb performance after being sick all week, taking the win in the 50+ category, with Kevin Muscat also finishing on the podium in 3rd 🥇🥉
In the 40+ category, Waylon Mifsud was agonisingly close to the podium in the sprint for 3rd and continues to improve race by race. Kudos also to Ryan Spiteri Cassar Ellis, finishing 7th just a few weeks after welcoming a newborn!
The Elite race was always going to be fiery just by looking at the start list, and it did not disappoint. Fast and vicious from start to finish, our team tried everything. Bridging gaps, getting into breakaways, attacking, counter-attacking. Every rider played a strong part, and the work paid off with narrowly beaten on the line in a three-up sprint, ultimately finishing 3rd 🥉Daniel came home close behind in 4th, with Pierre in 5th after strong work all day. Hats off to Aidan and Antoine!
A big shoutout also to John Camilleri and Carl Xerri, who played a huge role in getting our riders into the top 5 with superb teamwork and effort, fighting all day.
Chapeau also to James Geiger, who was a strong protagonist in his first road race in Malta, getting dropped, fighting back to catch the group, and then riding away solo afterwards. Huge ride.
Super proud of everyone. This is why we do what we do ❤️
Onto the final round of the National Club Series next week in Gozo, hosted by .
