Jackson Langley showcased his credentials as the island's premier time-trialist this morning, clocking the fastest time of the day at the Bermuda Bicycle Association’s Winners Edge Time Trial.
Under a clear sky and favourable morning conditions, 36 riders descended on South Shore to face the ultimate test of individual strength: the race against the clock. Starting at Stonington Avenue in Paget, competitors tackled a 10.55-mile course that pushed them west to the Church Bay turnaround before a gruelling return leg to the finish.
In the elite A Category, Jackson Langley of VT Construction produced a masterclass in pacing and aerodynamics. Starting at a 30-second interval, Langley effectively "blew the doors off" the course, finishing in a blistering 23:18.
His nearest rival, Dylan Eiselt of Winners Edge, put in a valiant effort to secure second place in 24:47, while his teammate Gianluca Bortoli rounded out the podium in 26:29. Langley’s winning margin of nearly a minute and a half serves as a definitive statement of intent for the remainder of the racing season.
The B and C categories provided some of the most closely contested times of the morning. Stephen Ryan (BRCC) claimed the B Category honours with a disciplined ride of 26:57, fending off challenges from Geoff Smith and Forrest Chris Nusum.
The C Category saw Ian Henderson (BRCC) record a remarkably fast 26:43—a time that would have seen him competitive in the higher divisions—to take the win ahead of Matthew Kenny and Neil MacGuinness.
In the Women’s Category, the experienced Ashley Couper (VT Construction) demonstrated her class once again. Couper navigated the South Road rollers with precision to stop the clock at 28:04, securing the top spot. Naomi MacGuinness followed in second, with Annabelle Miller taking third.
The Youth Division also provided a glimpse into the future of Bermudian cycling. Madeleine Friend delivered a standout performance in the 11–12 category, proving that the next generation is ready to embrace the rigours of the "race of truth."
