CEBUANA CYCLIST TO RACE IN AMERICA

Decorated Cebuana cyclist Ana Patricia "Ica" Maximo has taken up the challenge to "Race & Learn" cycling in the United States next month.

After dominating both the juniors and women's open categories of the 2015 Cebu Criterium Championships last December in Toledo City, Keith De Fiebre, American organizer & sponsor, saw her potential and encouraged her to experience women cycling in the US.

"You will learn a lot from racing with other women cyclists in the USA. Back there we do it differently and the level of competition is much higher," said De Fiebre, who is a US cycling race organizer.

The current women junior world champion in road race and time trial is an American. In the recent UCI World Track Cycling in London, the US women team bagged the gold in the team pursuit.

"I want to learn more about cycling and know why other countries are doing it well. When I come back, I wish to share it with the youth and hopefully start a junior cycling project in Cebu," said the national champion of Philippine Youth Games-Batang Pinoy Cycling and testrider of YKKBikes.com.

The four-time medalist of Philippine National Games (PNG) plans to compete in the women juniors of the USA Cycling Road Development Series in California. She will also join training rides with some women and junior cycling clubs.

The number of races she can participate will depend though on the support she will be able to get from others, especially the Cebuano community. "I want to represent and promote Cebu in my races abroad. I hope to get the support," shares the two-time SAC awardee and a Grade 10 student of Sacred Heart School - Hijas de Jesus.

MAXIMO TO JOIN 50-DAY CAMP IN KOREA



Sun Star Newspaper.  AFTER leading Cebu MultiSport to the team title in the Cobra 70.3 Ironman 70.3 mixed relay division, 18-year-old Cebuano junior cyclist Luis Miguel “Igimax” Maximo of Ateneo de Manila University will represent the country in the UCI World Cycling Center Satellite Training Camp on Sept. 2 to Oct. 20 in South Korea.

Maximo, who is a student of Ateneo de Manila University and a product of YKKBikes.com junior program, was selected for the camp along with national track coach Carlo Jazul.

They were endorsed by Bambol Tolentino of PhilCycling, the governing body for cycling.

 

The 50-day training camp will give participants the opportunity to undergo a high-level training and education camp to develop their knowledge and skills.

The coaching and 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 Rep. Bambol Tolentino and Director 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 two-time Sportswriters’ Association of Cebu awardee.

 

During his high school days, Igimax represented the country in the 2012 Asian Junior Cycling Championships in Malaysia and World Youth Day in Spain and was supported by his former school – Paref Springdale School. (PR)
