The team enjoyed a packed and successful weekend of racing, with riders competing in both mountain bike and road events across Malta and Gozo.
On Saturday, the team was represented by Clyve Chetcuti and Matthew Dalli in Round 1 of the MMBA National Points Series, held in Miżieb. The event proved to be a memorable one, as Clyve delivered an outstanding performance to secure the team’s first-ever XC MTB victory. With a dominant ride and a commanding winning margin, Clyve set a major milestone for the team.
The following day, the team was back in action at the Sannat Criterium in Gozo, a well-organized event hosted by Shamrock Stars. The riders continued the weekend’s strong form with several impressive results across multiple categories.
In the Under 16 category, Gao Ping claimed an excellent second place. David Cushing produced a strong performance to win the Masters 50+ category, while Lindsey Pirotta took victory in the Ladies category, marking her first-ever road race win.
Waylon Mifsud and Ryan Spiteri also put in determined rides in the 40+ category, battling hard throughout the race as they pushed for a podium finish.
In the Elite race, the team faced tough opposition from Antoine Magaud, whose repeated attacks made for a demanding and aggressive contest. Jacob and Daniel worked tirelessly to stay in contention and responded strongly throughout the race. After a hard-fought finish, they were narrowly beaten on the line in the sprint, finishing second and third respectively.
A special mention also goes to John for a solid fourth-place finish, to Clyve Chetcuti for making the trip to Gozo and racing again just one day after his intense MTB victory, and to Carl Xerri for showing up and delivering a strong ride despite being sick throughout the week.
Overall, it was a standout weekend for the team, highlighted by landmark victories, podium finishes, and committed performances across the board.
On to the next.
