ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI -The BVI Cycling Federation hosted its National Time Trail and Jason Bally Memorial Race on September 29 and 30, 2012 with Orano Andrews setting a new National Speed record in winning the Elite Division

The winners of the two race events are also named as the BVI National Champions in both categories. So along with his new record Andrews also took the title of time trial champion. However, he was unable to make it a clean sweep as he finished second in the Jason Bally Memorial Race, which comes with the title of National Champion.

In the Women’s time trail, Lisa Adamson took first place in her first competitive ride of 2012.

1st Place           Male:               Orano Andrews          48.54.611

1st Place           Female:            Lisa Adamson             27.24.285

For the main event, the Jason Bally Memorial, Orano Andrews took the lead very early but he was unable to hold the lead and the attack of the main group until the finish. At the end of six gruesome laps, Phillippe Leroy took first place and became the BVICF National Champion 2012 in the male division with an excellent and consistent ride. Sally Blackmore became the BVICF National Champion 2012 in the female division with a very good ride also.

Male                Phillippe Leroy                        3.33.54.863

Female             Sally Blackmore                      2.00.29.359

At the medal ceremony, Third District representative the Honourable Julian Fraser R.A was on hand to present the various awards and President of the BVICF, Darel Christopher, thanked all the participants, volunteers, supporters, sponsors and parents of the junior athletes for supporting the events.
