Fajardo, Barba to see action in Singapore bikefest

CEBU, Philippines - Cebuano pedal-pusher Zandro Fajardo and his latest protégé JR Barba will test their skills on the international stage through the Singapore National Mountainbike Challenge 2012 on July 1 at Tampines Bike Park and Trail.

Fajardo and Barba of Team OZR-Kokonut Helmet anticipate a tough action since the event will be participated in by downhill riders all over the world.

The former motocrosser-businessman Fajardo said the racetrack in Tampines has been fully upgraded from a technical to highly elevated downhill course that makes it more tougher.

Fajardo, however, is particularly excited on how Barba will perform in the race.

Barba recently won the elite title of the Downhill Riders of the Philippines (DROP) National Series in Guimaras Island.     - THE FREEMAN
