Carrera rules Pozorrubio bikefest
Sherwin Carrera, a veteran of international cycling competitions and considered one of Pangasinan’s elite riders, opened the year strong by conquering the star-studded Pozorrubio bikefest held on January 10.
The 24 year old lanky rider from San Fabian, a member of the Pitaki Boyz group, used his international sprinting savoir faire to outspeed his two breakaway partners, Baler Ravena and Sherwin Diamsay, in the last 300 meters to pocket the P10,000 top prize plus a trophy.
The trio clocked the 165-kilometer flat race dubbed as the “First Domie de Vera Cycling Classic” in four hours, five minutes and eleven seconds.
Ravena, the 2007 Padyak Pinoy runner-up from Asingan, bagged P4,000 while Diamsay from Tarlac City earned P2,000.
Hometown boy Nilo Estayo who took charge of the second group 42 seconds off the pace, placed fourth and youthful Sual cycling sensation Mark Julius Bonzo finished fifth.
Closely following at 6th place was Tomas Martinez, Jr. of Tarlac City.
Completing the top ten finishers were Pozorrubio’s son and 2003 Tour Pilipinas king Arnel Quirimit, Reynaldo Navarro of San Jacinto, Adrian Malanum of Mangaldan and Eduardo Nardo of San Manuel.
Fifty eight finished the bikefest participated in by 93 pedal pushers from Pangasinan, Manila, Bulacan, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, La Union and Zambales—JAG, Jr.
