Kaieteur Sports- Following an electrifying first stage dominated by seasoned cyclist Briton John, the highly anticipated three-stage Jagan’s Memorial Cycle Road Race is set to return to the Berbice District this Sunday for its second leg.

Veterans (50+) will conclude their race at Babu-John during the upward journey.
Cycling enthusiasts can expect a day of exhilarating competition, with top-tier athletes battling for supremacy.
The stakes are high, as the winner of the Senior’s race will claim a grand prize of $40,000. Trophies and financial incentives will be awarded to cyclists placing 1st-3rd and 1st-6th in the elite race.
