Llori Sharpe claimed an impressive second-place finish in the 20km Women’s Elite Individual Time Trial during the opening day of the Caribbean Elite Road Cycling Championships held in Belize. Trinidad & Tobago’s Teniel Campbell dominated the event, clinching the top spot with a remarkable time of 28:39.4 minutes. Sharpe followed closely with a time of 31:58 minutes, while Bermuda’s Gabriella Arnold secured third place, clocking in at 32:15.8 minutes. This achievement marks a significant improvement for Sharpe, who placed fourth in the same event last year. Both Campbell and Sharpe have previously ridden for prestigious European teams—Liv AlUla and CANYON SRAM Generation, respectively. Coach Carlton Simmonds expressed his satisfaction with Sharpe’s performance, especially considering her recovery from a serious injury sustained in August when she was struck off her bike. The competition continues on Sunday with the road race, where Sharpe will tackle the 108km course, while male teammates Andrew Ramsay, Jaequan Dixon, and Melvin McFarlane will compete in the 156km event.
