No podium finish for local cyclists

Three of our cyclists, namely Ahmad Arissol, Dominic Arrisol, and Stephen Belle were in action yesterday in the 25.9km individual time trial held at the Marais Masay Station in Jovena.

Unfortunately, none of them finished on the podium of the event which was dominated by Reunionnais cyclists with two top-three finishes.

Seychelles’ best performer was Stephen Belle who completed the challenge in 38 minutes 42.69 seconds (38:42.69), finishing 16th overall, while Ahmad Arissol finished 22nd on the final ranking, clocking 40:36.06.

Dominic Arrisol was 23rd overall, finishing in 40:38.24.

Our cyclists will be back on the road on Saturday in the 145km road race.
