Ju­nior cy­cling ace En­rique De Co­mar­mond won gold medals at the just-con­clud­ed Caribbean Ju­nior Cy­cling Cham­pi­onship in Guyana at the week­end.

Ther ris­ing cy­cling tal­ent de­stroyed the field to clinch the gold medals in the Kilo­me­tre Time Tri­al and the Road Race, to con­tin­ue on the good works of the coun­try's cy­cling team un­der tech­ni­cal di­rec­tor, Cana­di­an Erin Hartwell.

How­ev­er, at­tempts by his team­mates, cousins Rodell and Tyrique Woods were un­suc­cess­ful as both got punc­tures. Man­ag­er of the team Jeff Chan­dler said his rid­ers did a won­der­ful job and had it not been for the mis­for­tunes ex­pe­ri­enced by the Woods cousins, it could have been even bet­ter for the coun­try con­cern­ing medals.

Chan­dler said it was un­for­tu­nate that there was no ser­vice team fol­low­ing the race when the punc­tures took place.

Ac­cord­ing to Chan­dler "In the Road Race, I thought we have got­ten a one-two-three. And we were gear­ing up for that fin­ish when the rid­ers got flats and be­cause no ve­hi­cles were al­lowed to fol­low, the cy­clists did not fol­low." Af­ter the event, De Co­mar­mond re­turned to the Unit­ed States where he has been train­ing and rac­ing. He is ex­pect­ed to re­turn home for the To­ba­go Cy­cling Clas­sic in Oc­to­ber, and will al­so fea­ture in the Bea­con Cy­cling on the Av­enue event soon af­ter the events in the sis­ter isle of To­ba­go.

Mean­while an­oth­er TT ju­nior rid­er D'An­ge­lo Har­ris will face the starter at the Ju­nior Worlds in Ger­many to­day. Har­ris, a tal­ent­ed ju­nior sprint­er will con­test the sprints.
