CEBUANO cycling prodigy Luis Miguel “Igi” Maximo plunges back into action today as he sets out to win the individual time trial (ITT) event of the prestigious Philippine Premier Cycling League at the Daan Hari, Muntinlupa City, Manila.

The Junior category ITT race is a 12km route in the undulating Daang Hari road that connects Muntinlupa City to Cavite. The venue was also used during the Tour ng Pilipanas. Maximo will be up against cyclists and triathletes from Manila and the Luzon.

Admittedly, Maximo is still trying to improve on his time in the ITT race and he will try his best to better his efforts in this event. “Among the cycling disciplines, it is in ITT that I need to improve. I did good in road racing and criterium in my past races, which I got more experience here in Cebu, but it is in ITT that I have to work out more.

CANT WE HAVE BOTH THE LICENSE & THE FUNDS?

But the irony of it all is that cyclists cannot compete abroad without a license, issued by the UCI, and they cannot compete without funds, released by the POC-PSC.  And a cyclist cannot be a member of both.
