Team Pharmaco pedal to hat-trick of Nat’l Criterium titles

TEAM Pharmaco pedalled to three National Criterium Championship titles when the 2019 edition raced off, at Nelson Mandela Park, Port-of-Spain, on Tuesday.

Leading the charge and capturing the meet’s main event (Men’s Elite) was US-based cyclist, Emile Abraham, who rode to gold over the grueling 45km (35 lap) distance. Abraham, who returned to TT to participate in the Tobago International Cycling Classic, fought valiantly to trump silver medallist Kemp Orosco (Team DPS) and bronze receiver, James Hadeed (Heatwave). Rounding off the top-five finishers were Ryan Chin (Breakaway) and Jovian Gomes (PSL) respectively.

Team Pharmaco’s Enrique De Comarmond also bagged the gold in the Junior division ahead of Rigtech Sonics’ D’Angelo Harris (silver) and The Braves’ Ayo Semper (bronze). Stephen Aboud round off the team’s hat-trick of National Criterium titles when he powered to gold in the Men’s 60-69 (5 laps).

Meanwhile, the remaining National trophies were won by Hummingbird’s Wayne Samuel in the Men’s 50-59 (10 laps), Aaron Dowridge (Team Raiders) in the Men’s 40-49 and Jarel Mohammed (Southclaine) in the Tinymites Boys (6 laps).
