Richardson & Thomas Set Pace in Fattire Massive Series
|
After four high-octane rounds of the Fattire Massive Mountain Biking season, the battle for the top spot across the divisions has reached a fever pitch. On the technical and demanding trails of Bermuda, the current standings reveal a mix of dominant frontrunners and narrow margins as the athletes head into the middle stages of the calendar.
In the premier Open 60 Minute Male division, Che'Quan Richardson has established himself as the man to beat. With 76 points to his name, he currently holds an 11-point lead over his nearest rival, David Byrne, who sits on 65 points. The veteran Kavin Smith remains firmly in the hunt for a podium finish, trailing closely behind in third with 62 points.
The Open 60 Minute Female category is witnessing one of the tightest contests of the season. Wendy-Ann Thomas holds the slenderest of leads at the summit with 62 points, but she faces immense pressure from a chasing duo. Both Skye Ferguson and Ashley Robinson are locked together in second place, sitting just two points off the leader with 60 points apiece.
In the Open 30 Minute Male division, William Coatesworth has been the standout performer. His tally of 94 points gives him a comfortable cushion over Manning Smith, who remains consistent with 87 points. Sherman O. Darrell currently occupies third place with 65 points, leading the pursuit of the top two.
The Open 30 Minute Female standings see Kelise Wade in a commanding position. She leads the field with 72 points, followed by Olivia Bishop on 67. Zina Jones rounds out the top three with 47 points, though she will be looking to bridge the gap in the upcoming rounds.
The Novice categories are also providing plenty of drama. In the Novice Male division, Chris Jansma leads the way with 75 points. He is followed by Sean Dickinson on 62 points and Hanni Ali on 59. Meanwhile, the most dominant performance of the season so far belongs to Arlene Macguinness in the Novice Female division. Macguinness sits on a perfect score of 100 points, leaving Catherine Power and Katrina Carr, both tied on 80 points, to battle it out for the second spot on the leaderboard.

Panzy Olander secured second place after finishing one lap down, while Skye Ferguson rounded out the top three.
The Open 30 races were equally competitive, with the men’s division featuring a frantic sprint for the line. Manning Smith took the honors, completing four laps in 30:35, just ahead of William Coatesworth and Sherman O. Darrell. In the women's field, Kelise Wade proved she is as talented on two wheels as she is on the track, winning the division in 31:24. Zina Jones and Olivia Bishop completed the podium finishers.

White Secures Top-Ten Finish at Canadian Track Championships
|
Bermuda’s Conor White delivered a resilient performance on the boards this week, securing a hard-fought ninth-place finish overall in the Men’s Elite Omnium at the 2026 Canadian Track Championships.
Competing inside the high-tech Bromont National Cycling Center in Quebec, White made an immediate impact by powering to victory in his qualifying heat. The result served as a warning to a stacked field of North America’s top track specialists, marking White as a serious contender for the podium.
The Omnium—a grueling four-race discipline that tests speed, endurance, and tactical awareness—proved to be a rollercoaster for the Bermudian. White opened the main event with a solid seventh-place finish in the Scratch Race, staying out of trouble in a frantic bunch finish.
The middle portion of the competition presented a steeper challenge. White struggled to find his rhythm in the high-tempo environment of the Tempo Race, finishing 14th, before a difficult Elimination Race saw him exiting the track early in 20th position. The back-to-back results left him with a significant points deficit heading into the final event.
Showing the grit that has defined his road racing career, White produced a standout finale in the Points Race. Relentlessly hunting for laps and sprint bonuses, he claimed fourth place in the final segment, moving him back up the leaderboards to secure ninth in the overall standings.
The performance in Bromont serves as a vital warm-up for White’s 2026 campaign. The 26-year-old recently signed with the British elite squad JAKROO Handsling Racing and is slated to make history next month in Santiago as the first cyclist to represent Bermuda at the Pan American Track Championships.
With his focus now shifting toward Spain next week for a training camp.
