Narraway Battles WorldTour Elite in Philadelphia Classic
|
Bermudian cyclist Nicholas Narraway delivered a resilient performance on the international road stage, finishing 37th in the gruelling 200-kilometre Philadelphia Cycling Classic.
The prestigious UCI 1.1 classified event attracted several of the sport’s leading professional outfits, setting a punishing pace from the gun across the Pennsylvania course.
Narraway, drafted into the Competitive Edge Racing roster as a late call-up, showed immense grit to complete the punishing distance in 4:27:59. He crossed the line just 7 minutes and 4 seconds behind race winner Tim Torn Teutenberg of Lidl-Trek, arriving in a depleted chasing group featuring established WorldTour riders.
The demanding parcours and relentless tempo quickly shredded the peloton, turning the contest into a true race of attrition:
Heavy Toll: Of the approximately 86 riders who rolled off the start line, only 52 managed to finish.
Sole Survivor: Narraway was the lone finisher for Competitive Edge Racing, navigating the climbs and technical circuits as his teammates were forced out.
Elite Company: By holding his ground in the main surviving group, the Bermudian national champion underscored his credentials against top-tier professional competition.
The result marks another significant milestone for Narraway in US continental racing as he continues to test himself against world-class opposition.

Hopkins Resumes Training after Second Collarbone Surgery
|
Bermuda cyclist Kaden Hopkins has made a swift return to outdoor training, just a fortnight after suffering a broken collarbone in a crash at the Tour of Guadeloupe.
The 26-year-old underwent reconstructive surgery in Alicante, Spain—where he is based—having a plate inserted to stabilise the fracture.
Hopkins began intensive physiotherapy with specialist Pasqui Carrillo Garcia only 48 hours after the operation before stepping up his rehabilitation on the indoor turbo trainer.
Two weeks on from the initial injury, Hopkins is back out on the road, fully focused on regaining peak fitness ahead of next month's UCI Road World Championships in Montréal.
The Canadian city will host the championships from 20 to 27 September 2026. It marks the second time Montréal has staged the event following the historic 1974 edition—the first Road World Championships held outside Europe—and the third time Canada has hosted, following the 2003 championships in Hamilton.

Bermuda’s junior cyclists capped off a stellar weekend at the 2026 Caribbean Junior Road Cycling Championships in Belize, adding two more medals in the road races to finish the competition with a total of four podium finishes.
Following double silver in Saturday's individual time trials, the team navigated crashes and intense competition on Sunday to claim silver and bronze in the Juvenile Men's road race alongside a courageous top-six finish in the Junior Men's event.
Eiselt and Drea Double Up in Juvenile Race
In the 62.4-kilometre Juvenile Men’s road race, Dylan Eiselt captured his second silver medal of the championships, crossing the line in 1:58:24. Teammate Jens Drea joined him on the podium to take bronze in 1:58:51, making amends after narrowly missing out in fourth place in the time trial.
Jonah MacGuinness produced one of the most resilient rides of the day. Despite being brought down in a crash, MacGuinness remounted to fight his way back into the race and cross the line in 10th place with a time of 2:07:37.
Wright Battles Back After Junior Men Crash
The 93.6-kilometre Junior Men's race began in dramatic fashion, with both Jacob Wright and Keon Stevens caught up in an opening-lap crash.
While Stevens was forced to withdraw from the race—though later confirmed to be okay—Wright managed to get back in the saddle. The time-trial silver medallist mounted a determined solo recovery through the field, completing the gruelling distance in 2:54:17 to secure sixth position.

Bermuda’s young riders delivered an impressive opening display at the 2026 Caribbean Junior Road Cycling Championships in Belize, capturing two silver medals in Saturday's individual time trials.
Dylan Eiselt and Jacob Wright led the charge against the clock, with the four-strong contingent producing top-ten finishes across both the juvenile and junior divisions.
Eiselt Takes Silver on Debut
Making his debut at the regional championships, Dylan Eiselt claimed silver in the 15-kilometre Juvenile Men's time trial, crossing the line in 21 minutes 23.72 seconds.

Wright Builds on Regional Pedigree
In the 20-kilometre Junior Men's event, Jacob Wright added to his burgeoning regional record by securing Bermuda’s second silver of the day in 26:44.95. The ride marked Wright's second consecutive time-trial medal at the championships, following his juvenile bronze in Barbados last year.
Cayman Islands rider Ryan Thompson took the junior title in 26:03.44, while Barbados' Jonah Kelly rounded out the podium with bronze in 27:05.27. Bermuda's Keon Stevens finished ninth with a time of 33:06.94.
'Proud of All Four Riders'
"We are extremely proud of all four riders," said Peter Dunne, President of the Bermuda Bicycle Association.
"Dylan and Jacob delivered excellent rides to earn their silver medals, while Jens came very close to the podium in fourth. Keon showed determination to complete a demanding time trial. They represented Bermuda well, and the entire team can take confidence from today into the road races."
Road Races Await on Sunday
The championships conclude on Sunday with the road race events.
Wright and Stevens will contest the 93.6-kilometre Junior Men’s road race, while Eiselt, Drea, and Jonah MacGuinness take to the start line for the 62.4-kilometre Juvenile Men’s event.
