De St Croix claims another race win

MONDAY, JANUARY 28: In-form Neil de St Croix took full advantage after reigning champion Dominique Mahyo crashed out of Race Three of the Bicycle Works Mountain Bike Race Series on Sunday.

Over 70 riders took on the one-mile track at Admiralty House Park, which began with an epic hill climb and ended with a downhill run to the finish line.

In the ‘A’ Class Male category, de St Croix — who won Race Two — proved again he is the guy to beat.

Mahyo, who had missed the start of the Series because of Bermuda Regiment duty, found the transition from army boots to cycling shoes tough, crashing half way through on a sharp technical corner. Brian Steinhoff finished second, followed by Mark Hatherley in third.

In the ‘B’ Class Male, Hans Hirschi took top honours, followed by Robin Horsfield in second and Ian Port in third.

In the ‘B’ Class Female, Gabriella Arnold was first across the line, followed by Ashley Kirkpatrick in second and Goretti Clementino in third. In the Novice Male, Kyle Adams was victorioust, followed by Jason Thomas and Paul Tetley.

In the Novice Female Class, Brittany Uddin took top honours, and in the 13-16 Female Class, Tristian Narraway came home first followed by Jessie Godfrey in second and Victoria Davis in third.

In the 13-16 Male Class, Matthew Oliveira was followed home by Christian Oatley and Sam Walsh.

And in the Under-13 Female Class, Kayla Raymond edged out Cassy McPhee, while in the boys’ section, Nahje Smith finished first, followed by Alexander Miller and Kaleb Madeiros in third. 

The series continues on Sunday at Ferry Reach Park at 9am.
