Dylan Eiselt, a 14-year-old rising star who posted the sixth-fastest time overall in the hill climb, signalled his potential as a future champion by taking the junior male title. He shared the podium with Rory Sheppard and Jens Drea.

Sofia Leclerc won the female junior 13 to 14 age group.

In the junior male 12 and under division, Jacob Leclerc was victorious, followed by Spencer Haldeman and Lukas Eiselt.

Naomi MacGuinness, fresh from winning three medals, including two golds for Bermuda at the Carifta Triathlon and Aquathlon Championships in Barbados, took the junior female 12 and under title. Second position went to Bethany Davidge with Romy Drea third.

The 11-year-old MacGuinness was also the winner of the women’s race in Monday’s Swan's Running Club Labour Day 5K Road Race.

It was the first time since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic that the BBA held the three-stage omnium and it expressed appreciation to all those who made the three-stage race a success.

“A special thanks to Dunkley’s Bermuda for keeping our athletes hydrated with water throughout the weekend,’’ the BBA said.

“The BBA’s 50th anniversary omnium was a fantastic celebration of cycling in Bermuda, and we encourage cyclists of all levels to join us in future races.

“Whether you’re a seasoned racer or just getting started, there’s a place for you in Bermuda’s cycling community.”
