The Just Living Daily (JLD) Cycling Academy and Heatwave Cycling Club have jointly issued a pre-action protocol letter to the Trinidad and Tobago Cycling Federation (TTCF), demanding the cancellation of trials scheduled for January 17, 2026, for the Pan American Track Cycling Championships. Represented by attorney Dr. Emir Crowne, the clubs argue that the trials violate the federation’s own selection policy, which mandates that trials must be held no later than 12 weeks before an international event. The championships are set to take place from February 16 to 22 in Santiago, Chile, making November 24 the latest permissible date for trials. The TTCF, however, announced on November 10 that it would proceed with trials on January 17, a decision approved during an emergency council meeting on November 17. The clubs contend that this decision disrupts athletes’ training cycles, particularly for those based abroad, and lacks procedural fairness. They also criticized the federation for proposing a 4km individual pursuit test for rider Alexi Costa-Ramirez, calling it arbitrary and biased. The letter accuses the TTCF of negligence, breach of agreement, and abuse of power, threatening legal action if the trials are not canceled and selections made in accordance with policy. The federation has until 9 am on November 21 to respond, failing which the clubs will seek an emergency injunction from the High Court of Justice.
