TF columnist Araneta logs back-to-back wins

The Freeman columnist Dr. Jose Vicente "JV" Araneta beams with pride as he posted back-to-back victories in this month's RECYCLE Road Cyclist of the Month Race Series to take the overall lead the other day at the Mandaue City reclamation area.

And just like in the second leg, Araneta both had the energy and good luck paving his way for another success.

The class B action started tough with each rider trying to outsmart one another.

Araneta, who was just eight points away from erstwhile leader Lyndyl Caraquel, did a smart move by looking closely at latter.

After finding out Caraquel's bike got punctured, Araneta worked harder to outsmart Toto Iral in the final sprint to win the third leg crown.

Araneta's latest win sent him to the top with 55 points, dropping Caraquel to second with 43 points.

The third to fifth sports were occupied by Neil Duhaylungsod with 41 points, Xerox Lauron with 34 points and Dexter Lapuz with 27 points.
