Langley & Millington Master the Challenges at Admiralty House
|
The fourth installment of the Fat Tire Massive Mountain Bike season took place at Admiralty House, where technical climbs and treacherous turns provided a stern test for Bermuda’s elite off-roaders.
In the premier Open 60 Male Division, Jackson Langley delivered a tactical masterclass to secure victory. Langley completed 13 laps of the winding circuit in a time of 1:05:05, showcasing the endurance that has made him a standout this season. He was followed by Dylan Eiselt, who finished one lap down in 1:06:24, while the experienced Kavin Smith claimed the final podium spot after finishing two laps behind the leader in 1:02:16.
The Open 60 Female category saw Charlotte Millington continue her dominant run.

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.
The Adult Novice Divisions provided a platform for emerging talent to shine:
Jesse Decouto claimed the men’s title in 36:23, fending off Hanni Ali and Sean Dickinson.
Arlene Macguinness was the class of the female field, finishing her four laps in 31:09, ahead of Catherine Power and Katrina Carr.

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.
