Last night, we told you about how 2013 National Road Champ, Byron Pope, couldn't defend his title in this weekend's cycling race. He also won't be able to represent Belize in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
What we didn't tell you was how Sunday's race played out. After riding from Orange Walk through Hattieville Boom Junction, all the way to Mount Hope in the Cayo District, Nissan Arana of the Predators Team became the 2014 champ. He rode the 114 mile race in 4 hours, 40 minutes and 14 seconds. Seasoned race observers say that Byron Pope's absence was one of the factors at which Sunday's race was ridden.
In the female category, Shalini Zabaneh won her sixth national road championship. Zahir Figueroa of Cayo High Road team won the junior championship and Robert Liam Stewart of the Benny's Megabytes team won the masters division.
