Carcueva reigns

MANILA, Philippines — Jonel Carcueva was a monster on the Sampaloc climb in capturing his third straight Men’s Elite road race crown in the PhilCycling National Championships for Road 2024 yesterday.

Just like what he did the last two years, Carcueva, riding out of Cebu City, made his dominant move in the climb back to Tagaytay City to clock four hours, also president of the Philippine Olympic Committee.

Jericho Jay Lucero made it a 1-2 finish for continental team Go-for-Gold, finishing a minute after his team captain in the 178.30-km race that started and finished at the Praying Hands along Isaac Tolentino Avenue.

Philippine Navy-Standard Insurance’s Ronald Lomotos was nine seconds behind Lucero for the bronze medal.
