PHOEBE Sandy and Jadian Neaves were the standout cyclists at the 2025 Easter International Cycling Grand Prix, which concluded on April 20.
The opening night was at the Ian Atherly Cycle Track, Skinner Park, San Fernando, on April 18. Action switched to the Arima Velodrome on April 19 and the event came to a close at the National Cycling Centre, Couva, on April 20.
Sandy and Neaves, both TT riders, finished as the best elite-one cyclists after quality performances over the three-day meet.
From the opening night, Neaves proved he meant business, winning multiple races at Skinner Park.
The Raiders Cycle and Multi-sport athlete won the ten-lap event for elite-one and international cyclists, finishing ahead of Americans Luke Fetzer of Turbo Velo Pickle Juice and Anton Gibson of Start Track Cycling.
Neaves continued his stellar effort on the track with a victory in the points race, ahead of Star Track Cycling's (US) Bradley Green and local rider Akil Campbell. It did not end there for Neaves as he copped the elimination race. Campbell had to settle for second and another TT cyclist Liam Trepte ended third.
Sandy showed her ability at the Arima Velodrome as the Madonna Wheelers cyclist won multiple events. In the four-lap event for elite and international women, Sandy captured first place ahead of Adrianna Seyjagat (Arima Wheelers) and Suriname's Tachana Dalgar.
It was the same top three in the women's keirin final for elite and international women.
In the six-lap event, Sandy delivered once again with gold as Dalgar ended second and Alexia Wilson of Arima Wheelers was third.
On the final night, Sandy continued her outstanding effort at the meet with gold in the much-anticipated women's sprint event. Dalgar was second and Wilson third.
