Bermuda name strong eight-rider squad for Dominican Republic
|
Bermuda will field one of their largest squads in recent years as an eight-rider team heads to the Dominican Republic for the 2026 Caribbean Elite and Under-23 Road Cycling Championships this weekend.
Taking place across October 10th – 11th, the championships will see Bermuda look to strengthen their position as the region’s dominant cycling force, currently holding more medals across the elite and junior categories than any other nation.
Kaden Hopkins and Nic Narraway headline the men’s contingent and are set to contest both the individual time trial and the road race.
They will be bolstered in the road race by Conor White, Dominique Mayho, and Alexander Miller, forming a formidable five-man unit capable of controlling the peloton.
In the women’s events, Gabriella Arnold leads the charge, taking on both the time trial and road race, where she will be joined in the latter by Panzy Olander.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Millington makes the step up to the Under-23 ranks after a standout campaign last year, where she claimed junior time trial gold alongside a road race silver. She will contest both disciplines in the Dominican Republic.
Bermuda head into the weekend riding a wave of regional momentum, with their junior and juvenile riders having already secured four medals earlier in the 2026 season.
The focus now shifts to the senior and Under 23 riders to deliver on the road and add to the island's record-breaking haul.

White & Olander Crowned 2026 President's Cup Champions
|
Conor White produced a masterclass in solo riding to claim a dominant victory in the 2026 President's Cup Road Race, while Panzy Olander powered to the women's title.
The racing was lively from the start, with a competitive field that included Alexander Miller, Harrison Jones, Dominique Mayho and Nicholas Pilgrim. White made his decisive move in Crawl, opening a gap before putting in a sustained effort to build his advantage.
White pushed hard for the first 20 minutes of his breakaway before settling into a pace he could maintain. By Trimingham Hill, the chasing riders were out of sight, and a glimpse of the field as he rode out of Dockyard confirmed his substantial lead.
Riding unattached in the Open Men's category, White blew the field apart over the undulating course, crossing the finish line in two hours 15 minutes 15 seconds to take the chequered flag by more than five-and-a-half minutes.
Behind the runaway leader, a tactical battle unfolded for the remaining podium places among the chasing group.
Winners Edge team-mates Alexander Miller and Harrison Jones engaged in a close dash to the line, with Miller edging second place in 2:20:52, narrowly fending off Jones, who took third five seconds adrift in 2:20:57.
Dominique Mayho of V.T. Construction led the next wave across the line to take fourth position in 2:21:42, while Winners Edge rider Matt Boys rounded out the top five men's finishers in 2:21:57.
In the Open Women's division, Olander delivered a commanding performance for V.T. Construction. She held her own among the leading peloton, finishing 13th overall in 2:24:00 to seal the women's championship crown in style.

Brutal Montreal circuit halts Bermuda's Narraway & Hopkins
|
Bermuda's Nicholas Narraway and Kaden Hopkins saw their World Championship ambitions cut short as a punishing men's road race course in Montreal took a heavy toll on the peloton.
The Bermudian duo lined up among an elite 184-rider field aiming for the coveted rainbow jersey over an unforgiving 273.4km route, defined by repeated ascents of the formidable Mount Royal circuit. However, the unrelenting pace and accumulating elevation proved an insurmountable hurdle for both riders, who were among dozens forced out before the chequered flag.
The decisive attrition began early once the peloton hit the gruelling 13.4km finishing circuit. When a major breakaway established itself on the second of 12 scheduled laps, the surge in tempo immediately fragmented the bunch. Hopkins found himself isolated in a group of seven riders struggling out the back, ultimately succumbing to the pressure as the leaders drove forward.
The attrition only intensified as the race entered its second half. With roughly 100km remaining, Narraway was forced to step off the bike during a major culling that highlighted the punishing nature of the course.
The Bermudian rider bowed out alongside several established WorldTour stars, with Slovenia’s Matej Mohorič and Jan Tratnik, Spain's Raúl García Pierna, Japan's Jo Hashikawa, Romania's Iustin-Ioan Văidian, and Chile's Vicente Rojas all abandoning in the same bruising phase of racing.
While neither rider was able to conquer the brutal Canadian circuit, their presence on cycling's biggest single-day stage marked another valuable milestone for Bermudian representation against the sport's finest.

Hopkins & Narraway battle UCI Road World Championships Field
|
Bermudian duo Kaden Hopkins and Nic Narraway tested themselves against the world's cycling elite as the 2026 UCI Road World Championships got underway in Montreal.
Taking on a technical yet largely flat 39.2-kilometre course in the elite men's individual time trial, both riders delivered determined performances in Quebec against an unforgiving international field.
Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel produced a masterclass to claim the rainbow jersey, blitzing the course in a blistering 44 minutes and 53 seconds.
Hopkins led the island's charge with a disciplined ride, stopping the clock in 49:41 to claim 40th place overall, four minutes and 48 seconds adrift of Evenepoel’s benchmark.
Narraway followed closely behind on the demanding circuit. The young Bermudian battled through to cross the line in 51:10, six minutes and 17 seconds behind the newly crowned world champion, to finish 46th.
