MANILA, Philippines — Hindi ininda ni Aidan James Mendoza ang madu­las na daan upang matamis na angkinin ang korona sa men’s elite division ng Go For Gold Criterium Race Series 3 na ginanap sa General Santos City.

Umarangkada ang Go For Gold Continental Cycling Team standout na si Mendoza sa kabila ng buhos ng ulan upang u­ngusan si Jun Rey Navarra sa finish line.

Pumangatlo naman ang isa pang Go For Gold Continental Cycling Team bet na si Marc Ryan Lago — apat na segundo ang agwat sa likod ni Mendoza.

“It feels great that we were able to win this race for Go For Gold,” ani Mendoza na nagtala ng 45 minutes at 56 seconds sa pagkumpleto ng 1.4-kilometer loop sa harap ng city hall.

Beterano na si Mendoza sa mga international races kabilang ang kanyang third-place finish sa Tour of Thailand sa taong ito.

“Sa umpisa pa lang alam kong magiging mahirap kaya ginawan ko agad ng paraan para kumawala,” dagdag ni Mendoza.

Nanguna naman si MTB junior rider John Andre Aguja na pambato rin ng Go For Gold, sa MTB junior men’s habang namayagpag naman si Kate Yasmin Velasco ng Standard Insu­rance sa women’s open.

Hindi naging hadlang ang masamang panahon para sa mga cyclists mula sa Mindanao para magpartisipa sa Go For Gold Criterium Race Series na suportado ng Go For Gold PH, SCRATCHIT, PhilCycling, General Santos City at ni world boxing icon at former senator Manny Pacquiao.

“Our races are organized to give more opportunities for our local riders. For sure we will have more legs next year where we can hopefully find more up­co­ming cyclists,’’ ani Go For Gold founder Jeremy Go.
