By BBN Staff: Team SMART took two of the top three spots in the 4th Annual cycling race, sponsored by Westrac Limited.

The 100-mile race saw a total of 55 riders in three categories: Elites, Masters and Under 23. The race ran from Westrac’s Belmopan branch to the Faber’s Road roundabout and back to Westrac. Oscar Quiros Jr. took first place overall with a completion time of 3:48:10, while Joshua Fuller followed just over 7 minutes behind with a completion time of 3:55:22.

Brandon Cattouse of the C-RAY D Banner Cycling Team took third place with a completion time of 3:57:11. Cattouse also tied for first in the Masters +35, with Vallan Syms of team Kulture. Carlton Robinson of team Benny’s Megabytes Elite took first place in the Under 23 Category. The race also featured two female cyclists, Alicia Thompson and Nicole Gallego who both finished with a completion time of 4:15:10.

Mark Duek, who manages Westrac’s cycling team along with Lorenzo Vanegas said that the race is one year away from becoming a cycling classic.

“We had a very good turnout,” Dueck said. “We have a team and we want to encourage the sport of cycling so we decided to hold it just before the Belmopan Cross Country Classic to help the cyclist in Belize get into better condition for the cross-country.”

Westrac held its 4th annual race in place of the Belmopan Cross-country Classic which was canceled due to coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns.
