Bermuda’s elite cycling prospects, Kaden Hopkins and Nic Narraway, are entering the final phase of their preparations as they eye success at the upcoming Pan American Road Championships in Colombia. The prestigious event, running from March 17th to 22nd, will see the pair test themselves against the region's finest talent in the high-altitude conditions of South America.
For Hopkins, the journey to the start line has been a race against time. The talented rider is currently in the final stages of recovery following a broken collarbone, an injury that threatened to derail his early-season momentum. Despite the setback, Hopkins remains a focal point of Bermudian interest as he looks to re-establish his form on the international stage.
In contrast, Narraway arrives in South America with competitive miles already under his belt. He heads to Colombia following a strong season-opening showing at the Tucson Bicycle Classic, where he represented Competitive Edge Racing. His performance in Arizona serves as a vital springboard for the challenges ahead in San Juan and beyond.
White made history as the lone Bermudian representative at the 2026 Pan American Track Championships in Santiago, Chile, as the focus now shifts toward the Pan American Road Championships in Colombia, the cycling community is waiting to see who from the Bermuda Bicycle Association will be officially selected to join Kaden Hopkins and Nic Narraway for the event.
The inclusion of both athletes underscores the continued growth of cycling in Bermuda, with the pair consistently flying the flag at major regional competitions. As the championships approach, all eyes will be on how Hopkins manages his return to peak fitness and whether Narraway can translate his early-season sharpness into a podium threat.
