Gibbs, who rode a very tactical and well- judged race, also won two of the 10 prime prizes that were up for grabs while Marlon Williams, who ended fourth overall, won five primes.

Vinesh Narine, who placed second to Gibbs and Samuel Barker, who ended third, took one prime each. The other prime was won by Gordon Kennedy.

After being sent on their way, Raymond Newton, who finished down the line, went to the fore and headed Marlon Morrison and Jude Bentley for the first lap. Gibbs, at the time, was off the pace in sixth, a position he maintained until the 17th lap when he made his move and took control of things.

Gerald Fowler, a cyclist who showed a lot of promise early in his career, led during the second lap, but in the third lap, Gordon Kennedy took charge.

However, from the fourth lap, Marlon Williams, a cyclist with tremendous promise, went to the front and never relinquished that position until Gibbs decided to make his move in the 17th lap.

Williams had attacked the pack during the fourth lap and no one responded. He subsequently went on to open a 300-metre lead which was reduced by Gibbs who attacked the main chasing pack in the 17th lap. At the time, Gibbs was in company with Narine, Jude Bentley, Samuel Barker and Warren Mckay.

On attacking, Gibbs joined Williams during the 18th lap and blew him (Williams) away. The others were left as though standing. But during the next lap, Narine and Barker joined the two leaders.

The four stuck together for the remainder of the race until the final lap when Gibbs attacked 250 metres from the finish line and held off the challenge of the others.

Other race winners yesterday were Walter Issacs (veterans over-45 years), Vaughn Phillips (veterans under 45 years of age), Marlon Williams (juniors), Alonzo Greaves (juveniles) and Matthew Jordon (upright).
