Top ranked UCI world junior Match Sprint cyclist Quincy Alexander made T&T proud on Thursday evening as he set a new national record and placed sixth in the Kilometer Time Trial at the Junior World Cycling Championships in Moscow, Russia. He was the only Caribbean cyclist in the top ten, which also included riders from Europe, Australia, USA and Mexico.
The 18-year-old set a personal best time of 1:05.214, which outdid his time of 1:05.869 last year for which he had placed 14th. The youngster also placed 14th in the Flying 200m yesterday morning, setting another national record and personal best of 10.439 seconds. He improved two spots from his 16th place finish in the same event last year, in which he clocked 10.442. Alexander will next be in action for the Keirin tomorrow before returning home from his trip on Tuesday afternoon.
