GENERAL SANTOS CITY—Aidan James Mendoza hardly flinched despite the slippery terrain to claim the men’s elite title of the Go For Gold Criterium Race Series 3.
The fearless sprinter from the Go For Gold Continental Cycling Team cut loose from the peloton early amid the incessant rains and won his two-man sprint versus Jun Rey Navarra in a thrilling finish.
"Masarap ang pakiramdam na naipanalo namin itong karera para sa Go For Gold," said Mendoza after clocking 45 minutes and 56 seconds in completing the 1.4-kilometer loop in front of the city hall which the peloton rode for 40 minutes plus an additional three laps. Cyclists from all over Mindanao came to race despite the rainy weather in this third and last phase of the Go For Gold Criterium Race Series this year supported by event partners Go For Gold PH, SCRATCHIT, PhilCycling, General Santos City and world boxing icon and former senator Manny Pacquiao.
Go For Gold’s Marvin Mandac again topped the men’s junior race in 20 minutes and 47 seconds, defeating teammates Aguja and Justhene Navaluna, who arrived 12 seconds back.
