Arnold & Narraway claim Caribbean Road Race Medals
|
Bermuda’s cyclists capped off an outstanding campaign at the 2026 Caribbean Elite & U23 Road Cycling Championships in the Dominican Republic, with Gabriela Arnold claiming silver in the women’s road race and Nic Narraway taking bronze in the men’s event.
Following a medal-laden opening day in the individual time trials, the island's contingent carried their momentum into Sunday’s road races in Santo Domingo to secure further silverware on the regional stage.
In the elite women’s race, Arnold came agonisingly close to the top step of the podium. After navigating the 81.2-kilometre course, she was narrowly edged out in a photo-finish sprint at the line by the Dominican Republic's Raquel Restitullo, with both riders clocking an identical time of 2:17:55.
Panzy Olander crossed fifth overall in 2:23:43, while rising prospect Charlotte Millington produced another accomplished ride to finish ninth in 2:24:21, securing the Under-23 division silver medal.
In the 127.6km elite men’s road race, Narraway added a bronze medal to his silver from Saturday’s Time Trial after a ferocious battle for the podium.
Puerto Rico's Christopher Morales Fontán broke away to seal gold in 3:11:19, leaving a chasing group to duel for the remaining spots. Narraway stopped the clock in 3:12:47, sharing the exact finishing time with silver medallist Briton John of Guyana.
Fresh from claiming gold in the individual time trial 24 hours earlier, Kaden Hopkins ensured Bermuda placed two riders inside the top ten, crossing the line in seventh position in 3:16:08.
The race was not without misfortune for the Bermudian squad. Alexander Miller suffered an early puncture that ended his afternoon prematurely, while Conor White and Dominique Mayho recorded DNFs after working hard in service of the team’s overall strategy.

Bermuda Strike Double Gold at Caribbean Time Trials
|
Bermuda’s cyclists produced a sensational day against the clock in Santo Domingo, claiming two gold medals and a silver at the 2026 Caribbean Elite & U23 Road Cycling Championships.
On a blistering afternoon of individual time trials in the Dominican Republic, Kaden Hopkins and Nic Narraway locked out the top two steps of the podium in the elite men's category to deliver a commanding Bermuda one-two.
Hopkins set the benchmark with an explosive ride, stopping the clock in 42 minutes 23.239 seconds to secure the elite men’s continental crown.
Narraway pushed his compatriot all the way, crossing in 43:01.017 to seal a comfortable silver medal and confirm Bermuda’s regional dominance against the watch.
Bermuda’s golden haul was doubled in the women's ranks thanks to a sparkling display from rising star Charlotte Millington.
Competing in the Under-23 division, Millington posted a rapid time of 31:45.034 to emphatically take the U23 gold medal. Her effort proved strong enough to challenge the senior field as well, earning her fifth place overall across all women's competitors.
Team-mate Gabriella Arnold narrowly missed out on the senior podium, delivering a strong ride of 31:19.995 to finish fourth overall in the elite women's standings.
With three medals secured from the opening time trials, Bermuda's riders head into the upcoming road races with immense momentum in their pursuit of further continental silverware.

Bermuda name strong eight-rider squad for Dominican Republic
|
Bermuda will field one of their largest squads in recent years as an eight-rider team heads to the Dominican Republic for the 2026 Caribbean Elite and Under-23 Road Cycling Championships this weekend.
Taking place across October 10th – 11th, the championships will see Bermuda look to strengthen their position as the region’s dominant cycling force, currently holding more medals across the elite and junior categories than any other nation.
Kaden Hopkins and Nic Narraway headline the men’s contingent and are set to contest both the individual time trial and the road race.
They will be bolstered in the road race by Conor White, Dominique Mayho, and Alexander Miller, forming a formidable five-man unit capable of controlling the peloton.
In the women’s events, Gabriella Arnold leads the charge, taking on both the time trial and road race, where she will be joined in the latter by Panzy Olander.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Millington makes the step up to the Under-23 ranks after a standout campaign last year, where she claimed junior time trial gold alongside a road race silver. She will contest both disciplines in the Dominican Republic.
Bermuda head into the weekend riding a wave of regional momentum, with their junior and juvenile riders having already secured four medals earlier in the 2026 season.
The focus now shifts to the senior and Under 23 riders to deliver on the road and add to the island's record-breaking haul.

White & Olander Crowned 2026 President's Cup Champions
|
Conor White produced a masterclass in solo riding to claim a dominant victory in the 2026 President's Cup Road Race, while Panzy Olander powered to the women's title.
The racing was lively from the start, with a competitive field that included Alexander Miller, Harrison Jones, Dominique Mayho and Nicholas Pilgrim. White made his decisive move in Crawl, opening a gap before putting in a sustained effort to build his advantage.
White pushed hard for the first 20 minutes of his breakaway before settling into a pace he could maintain. By Trimingham Hill, the chasing riders were out of sight, and a glimpse of the field as he rode out of Dockyard confirmed his substantial lead.
Riding unattached in the Open Men's category, White blew the field apart over the undulating course, crossing the finish line in two hours 15 minutes 15 seconds to take the chequered flag by more than five-and-a-half minutes.
Behind the runaway leader, a tactical battle unfolded for the remaining podium places among the chasing group.
Winners Edge team-mates Alexander Miller and Harrison Jones engaged in a close dash to the line, with Miller edging second place in 2:20:52, narrowly fending off Jones, who took third five seconds adrift in 2:20:57.
Dominique Mayho of V.T. Construction led the next wave across the line to take fourth position in 2:21:42, while Winners Edge rider Matt Boys rounded out the top five men's finishers in 2:21:57.
In the Open Women's division, Olander delivered a commanding performance for V.T. Construction. She held her own among the leading peloton, finishing 13th overall in 2:24:00 to seal the women's championship crown in style.
