Cyclists Kemp Orosco and D'Angelo Harris stood out at the weekend when the T&T Cycling Federation held its Endurance Racing event at the National Cycling Centre (NCC) in Balmain Couva, and Mountain Bike, MTB XCO League Series#2 at Gran Couva.
Orosco was voted most outstanding rider following his exploits in the Elite Men's Points Race, Elite Men's Elimination event and the Scratch race for elite men, which was contested over 10 laps.
In the points race, the Team DPS rider only managed second after failing to get the better of his teammate Jymes Bridges, who received 63 points for his triumph.
Orosco's runner-up position earned him 53 points while Maurice Burnette, another Team DPS rider, received 39 points for third. But later Orosco made amends by clinching wins in the elimination and the 10-lap scratch races.
Harris, on the other hand, Harris the junior cycling ace produced an unbeaten record in the events he took part in, such as the scratch and elimination races. Both men were eventually named most outstanding in their respective categories, along with Desmond Roberts (Team PSL- Masters), Ryan d'Abreau (Arima Wheelers- Juveniles) and Judah Neverson (Rigtech Sonics- Tinymites).
