Antigua St. John's - The Antigua & Barbuda Cycling Association is pleased to announce the National Road Race team for the 2012 inet Caribbean Cycling Championships, to be held in Antigua on Sunday 21st October.

As the host country, Antigua & Barbuda is entitled to field two 5-man male teams and two 3-woman female teams. However, with the talent we have in the male category on island we can meet the maximum spots but for the females we are only able to field a single team consisting of 2 riders.

The team consists of a few new and future potential riders, as well as some veterans who stayed on top of their game and made the qualification standard; but the Antigua & Barbuda team still includes several riders who can be on the podium as their riding ability is strong enough to be among the top contenders in both the male and female races on both days.

The members of ihe first male team are: Captain-Jyme Bridges, Omari King of Rattlers Club, Robert Marsh of ESR Club, Marvin Spencer and Andre Simon of Team Terminix. Antigua & Barbuda can look out for any of these names in the lead group and possibly on the podium in the Individual Time Trial and Sunday’s Road Race.

The second team is made up of riders who are strong on aiding support to the A-Team, but who can still be in contention on a given day. The second team members are veteran Brian Lyn of TWC, Clint Henry of Rattlers Club, veteran Dale Richardson of Club Savoy, Ken Jackson and Ashley Rhodes of ESR Club.

The team will be managed by Mervin Gore and Wayne Henry, assisted by motor pace trainer Ira Fabian and Ashfield Vigo. The National Team uniform will be donated by the National Olympic Committee.
