00:00Cycling in the South is back. The Luce's Brothers Memorial Cycling Classic promises to be bigger
00:06and better when the race begins on March 20th at the Ian Attlee Cycling Track Skinner Park San Fernando.
00:12The objective of hosting the Luce's Brothers Memorial Classic is not only to celebrate the
00:21memory or the life of Noel and Kent but it's also to promote youth development and to have some
00:30community engagement within the Southern Committees as a means of trying to revive cycling and having
00:37some good fun family activity in the San Fernando area. This time around the event will be used as
00:43a qualification meet for the Easter Grand Prix. To be more specific, Trinidad and Tobago Cycling
01:06Federation President Rowena Williams indicated it's a qualifier for national cyclists to earn
01:12selection on the national team for the Easter Grand Prix. It is expected to be a partnership
01:17event which may be a permanent fixture moving forward. Based on the timing it is very close to
01:24Easter because it's around this time Noel Pass we always try to commemorate his um his event around
01:31this time so it falls right in line just before the Easter International Grand Prix so it's something
01:38that we look forward to and we work closely with the Trinidad and Tobago Cycling Federation so is as a
01:44partnership and they asked if they could use our event as a qualifier. The event which is hosted by
01:49Rig Tech Sonic Cycling Club will feature some of the top cyclists which would have participated in the
01:55recently concluded elite cycling championships in Chile where TNT won six medals. Try not to be biased we have a
02:03young man
02:03team for Mr. Polido he's very good in the 500 very strong just came back from my games in Chile
02:11Panam

02:19of the box
02:20during the first lap and he's very good at the 500 as well. Cyclist Zion Polido will have his hands
02:27full

02:37team pursuit at the recent Panam championships and in as the sprinters we'll have people like Sindel Samaru

02:54the
02:54Skinner Park track. For an event that's been running since 2013 Fronten indicated that they are filled
03:00with pride as they continue to honor the legacy of Noel and Kent Lucis who would have been happy to
03:06see
03:06development continue in the sport. For fans the event cost $60 for adults and $20 for children under 12.
