Bardaje to defend RECYCLE crown

Haylin Bardaje eyes back-to-back leg victories when the second leg of the 2006 RECYCLE Road Cyclist of the Month Series reels off at the "Greenhouse" in Busay.

Bardaje leads the class B action after defeating Xerox Lauron.

December RCM awardee Ciano Dignos was third while the fourth and fifth placers went to John Rey Jaca and Ian Colina.

Today's race, however, is expected to be tough and challenging considering that the pedal pushers will be dealing with a mountain stage.

Aside from the class B riders, class A and C are also expected to see action.
