Cayman saw an exciting weekend of National Championship racing with blazing fast times on the Individual Time Trial and a thrilling Road Race a, both competed on the East End Circuit. Sunday saw 16 riders, take on the very windy course, with Pete De Witt recording the fastest time of the day – 42:17 for the 18.7 miles. Standing on the podium as National Champions were Victor Magalhaes (Elite Men) and Jeremy Solomon (Masters). Sunday’s Road Race began with a controlled pace, as several attempts to break away were swiftly neutralized. However, the final lap brought a dramatic end with a successful breakaway by Peter De Wit and Chris Bodden, culminating with Chris powering across the finish line for the overall win and the Elite Men’s National Championship. Other jersey winner’s were John Thompson (Masters), and Nathaniel Forbes (Under 23 Category).
