Shame­ka Hoyte of club Vapour Wake Mul­ti-Sport, on Sun­day, added to the Na­tion­al Time Tri­al ti­tle she won two weeks ago by win­ning the Na­tion­al Road Race Cham­pi­onships in the Tinymites di­vi­sion for fe­males at the Bri­an Lara Sta­di­um in Tarou­ba.

She was among just three com­peti­tors in her di­vi­sion, with the oth­ers be­ing Nao­mi Gar­cia (Un­at­tached) and Tehilla Chap­man (To­ba­go Elite Cy­cling Club). How­ev­er, she did not dis­ap­point in the four-lap event, hav­ing en­tered as the over­whelm­ing favourite.

In 2019, Hoyte clinched the na­tion­al ti­tle for Tinymites and Youth De­vel­op­ers at the Ir­win Park Sports Com­plex in Siparia, on­ly months af­ter the club was formed, and she lat­er fol­lowed up that achieve­ment with nu­mer­ous na­tion­al ti­tles years lat­er.

Kafele Des­ormeaux of Ari­ma Wheel­ers was al­so in win­ners row for the na­tion­al crown in the Tinymites Male cat­e­go­ry on Sun­day. She dis­posed of a large field that in­clud­ed Cris­t­ian Nel­son, the win­ner of the time tri­al event, Eli­jah James of Hum­ming­bird In­ter­na­tion­al Cy­cling Club and the Rigtech Son­ics pair of Mau­rice Lopez and Nikhyl Leo­taud, among oth­er rid­ers.

Des­ormeaux’s team­mate Zion Lu­cas claimed the run­ner-up po­si­tion and Nel­son stormed home for a cred­i­ble third, while the trio of An­dre Sam­nuel (Hum­ming­bird Int’l Club), Dar­ius Chap­man (To­ba­go Elite Cy­cling Club) and Lopez se­cured fourth, fifth and sixth po­si­tions re­spec­tive­ly.

Lat­er, in the Ju­ve­niles di­vi­sion which re­quired rid­ers to com­plete 12 laps of the cir­cuit, end­ed with the pair of Makaira Wal­lace (Un­at­tached) and Syn­del Sama­roo (PSL CC) be­ing crowned cham­pi­ons for fe­male and males re­spec­tive­ly.

Wal­lace got the bet­ter of Kyra Williams (Vapour Wake Mul­ti-Sport), Isis Gaskin (Raiders Cy­cling and Mul­ti­sport) and Ash­leigh Thomas (Raiders Cy­cle and Mul­ti Sport) for her ti­tle, while Sama­roo took the male equiv­a­lent ahead of Jalani Nedd, Danell James and com­pa­ny.

Mean­while, in the mas­ters cat­e­go­ry, Rowan Col­in Wil­son took the 40-49 age brack­et win and Roger Si­mon, the win­ner of the time tri­al event two weeks ago, added the mas­ters 50-59 road cham­pi­onships ti­tle to his cab­i­net.

And in the mas­ters 60-plus cat­e­go­ry, Ronald Crooks sealed the win and the na­tion­al ti­tle, de­spite a com­pet­i­tive field.
