CEBU, Philippines - Ana Patricia ‘Ica’ Maximo snared the gold medal for Team Cebu City as she dominated the Batang Pinoy Cycling National Finals yesterday in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.
The 14-year-old Maximo of YKKBikes.com ruled the girl’s division of the road cycling event of the Batang Pinoy with a time of 46:03.04, beating Maia Yusay (48:08.79) and Mikaela Paulina (50:18.20) both from Bacolod City.
The Grade 8 student of Sacred Heart School – Hijas de Jesus managed to control the race by staying at the back then broke away from the field after five kilometers from the start.
"When I made my breakaway I was surprised that the others did not follow so I just continued my effort to cross the finish line first," said the 2013 Phil National Games (PNG) Track Cycling double medalist.

Earlier in the race, her chain got derailed and fell on the road but she recovered in time to rejoin the group. "My knee hurt when I fell. Good thing it was not that serious and I was able to get back to the race," said Maximo.
Icamax is also entered in another cycling event, the Mountain Bike (MTB) Race. "This will be my very first time to use a MTB. I hope it will be another good race for Cebu City," said Icamax who is supported by Fizik, Lake, Marin, Time and WTB.

ANA Patricia Maximo showed racing skills beyond her years as she won the gold medal in the road bike event of the 2014 Batang Pinoy National Finals on Thursday in Bacolod City.

The 14-year old stalwart of YKKBikes.com utilized the precious experience that she culled from racing against men more than twice her age in various road races in Cebu, to best the field and finish with a time of 46 minutes and 3.34 seconds. In second place was Maia Yusay of Bacolod City who was more than two minutes behind while Mikaela Putina also of Bacolod completed the podium cast with a time of 50:18.20 minutes.


Maximo utilized her craftiness by staying close to the pack at the start before taking control of the lead five kilometers into the race. Even more impressive was the fact that the 8th grader from Sacred Heart School-Hijas de Cebu fell behind early in the race after her bike’s chain derailed and she fell on the road.


“My knee hurt when I fell. Good thing it was not that serious and I was able to get back to the race,” Maximo said.


“When I made my breakaway, I was surprised that the others did not follow so I just continued my effort to cross the finish line first,” said the 2013 Phil National Games (PNG) Track Cycling double medalist.
