THAT KELLY BOY finally unseated Russell Elcock after all. No, not Joshua.

Jesse Kelly is looking to make his own piece of history now, having set himself up to complete that ever-elusive National Championships’ double by ending Elcock’s five-year reign at the Barbados Cycling Union’s time trial yesterday.

Riding from Beulah Junction, St Philip, to the Boarded Hall roundabout, St George, and back twice, the elder Kelly completed the relatively flat 40K course in 53 minutes and 40 seconds to win his first national title at the elite level.

“It’s not really a surprise for me because I knew I was coming in here on excellent form. I went to Colombia this year then France and then I went to Pan Ams and suffered a mechanical,” said Jesse. (JM)
