CEBUANO IS COUNTRY'S REP TO INT'L BIKE CAMP
Cebu Daily News. CEBUANO cycling sensation Luis Miguel "Igi" Maximo is expected to hone his skills even more with the hopes of representing the country in future international competitions after he was selected to participate in the UCI World Cycling Center-Korea Satellite Training Camp next month in South Korea.
Maximo, a student of the Ateneo de Manila University who led the Cebu Multisport Team to gold in the recent Ironman 70.3 in Cebu, was endorsed to join the elite camp by PhilCycling, the country's governing body of the sport, under president Bambol Tolentino. He will be joined there by national track coach Carlo Jazul.
The 50-day training camp will give the participants the opportunity to undergo a high-level training and education camp to develop their knowledge and skills. The coaching education program will be delivered by Keith Flory and Dr. Chester Hills of World Cycling Center in UCI Switzerland.
"I am willing to go and learn new and advanced cycling programs. I am thankful to Cong. Bambol Tolentino and Dir. Jojo Villa for the opportunity. But I am also a student and I need to seek permission and support from my school especially that I will be absent for 50 days," said Maximo, a former awardee of the Sportswriters Association of Cebu (SAC) Sports Awards.
Maximo is no rookie when it comes to international exposure as he represented the country in the 2012 Asian Junior Cycling Championships in Malaysia and World Youth Day in Spain with the backing of his former school - PAREF Springdale School.
The biggest cycling distributor in the country, Cebu-based YKK Trading, will be supporting the youngster by providing him with race-ready Ridley frame, Campagnolo groupset, Token wheels, Lazer helmet and eyewear, Santini jerseys, FSA crankset, Vision basebar, Lake shoes, Kenda tires, Fizik saddle, CycleOps trainer, and Challenge tires which will be used in the training camp.

THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD Ana Patricia Maximo is starting to make a name for herself as she established a milestone of national proportions during the Pilipinas Cycling League's Tour of Clark, which was held over the weekend at the Clark Air Field in Angeles City.
Maximo is the younger sister of champion junior cyclist Luis Miguel Maximo of the Ateneo de Manila University. This time, the younger Maximo stepped out of her brother's shadow and became the youngest lady biker to compete in the said event, wherein she won the title in the youth girls 12-15 class' 10km individual time trial.
Maximo navigated the two-loop race in 18 minutes and 10 seconds and had an averaged speed of 30 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 41 kph achieved in downhill routes.
A day before the race, she also competed in the international Asian Triathlon Championships, bagging a respectable eight place finish in the 350-meter swim, 10-km bike and 2.5-km run in the Mini-Sprint Girls 13-14 division held in the nearby Subic Bay Freeport, Olongapo City, Zambales.
Maximo is currently attending the TRAP Triathlon Camp for the national youth development pool under coach Melvin Fausto and organized by president Tom Carrasco./CORRESPONDENT JONAS PANERIO

JUSTIN Chiongbian, Jezreel Tan, Issa Priagula and Ana Patricia "Icamax" Maximo will form the core group who will represent Cebu in the triathlon competition of the upcoming Batang Pinoy this December in Iloilo.
The four were chosen by national coach Melvin Fausto after topping yesterday's aquathlon race, which is part of the SuperTriKids National Grassroots Program (NAGP) Camp and Competition held at the Plantation Bay Resort and Spa Cebu in Mactan Island.
Chiongbian and Tan are from Sacred Heart School - Ateneo de Cebu, Priagula is from Maria Montessori International School and Maximo is from Sacred Heart School - Hijas de Jesus.
Fausto said the four will be training under Franz Baguio who will also be presiding over the Cebu triathlon developmental pool.
The Batang Pinoy competition will be one of the basis for rankings in the national developmental team, wherein representatives of the Philippines for the Asian qualifyings for the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympics will be chosen.
Only those who make it to the top four in the national developmental team will be able to compete in the Asian qualifyings next year.
The qualifiers will then be ranked and only five from Asia will be chosen to compete in the Nanjing Youth Olympics.
Since there is no limit for the number of participants for the Batang Pinoy, Fausto said there is still a chance for others to join the multi-sporting event./ CORRESPONDENT MARS G. ALISON
