Prado winner a second time

MANILA, Philippines — Jermyn Prado ruled the Elite race for her second gold medal while Kim Bonilla bagged the Under-23 crown in the individual time trial (ITT) races for women of the PhilCycling National Championships for Road presented by the MVP Sports Foundation and Standard Insurance Tuesday afternoon in Batangas.

Prado covered the 19.91-km route in 45 minutes and 50.04 seconds to add to her Criterium gold medal on Monday in Tagaytay City in the championships organized by the PhilCycling headed by Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino.

Shagne Yao crossed from being a mountain bike champion to road medalist and clinched the silver medal in Batulao more than three minutes behind Prado, the ITT gold medalist in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

Phoebe Salazar crossed six seconds slower than Yao to claim the bronze medal in the championships that will evaluate the current members of the national road team as well as incorporate the new winners to the PhilCycling program.
