The TriFactor Series returned on Sunday for its 10th anniversary and kicked the special 2018 edition off with the TriFactor Bike and CycleRun Challenge in an exciting downtown Singapore location centred on the Nicoll Highway. From a race card jam-packed with events of different distances and formats, the main multisports winners were Alan Blackie (Integrated Riding) and Vicki Hill (APS) in the Long Distance CycleRun Challenge, while among the pure cyclists, it was Brian Ng (Matador Racing) and Serene Lee (Masslandster International Women’s Cycling Team) who prevailed in the 49km Bike Race.

Pamungkas is downhill king, Riyadh scores double XC win

Singapore’s mountain bikers enjoyed a double dose of racing action last weekend with Dimas Pamungkas taking the main downhill honours at the Kent Ridge Carnival on Saturday, while Riyadh Hakim struck gold for two days in a row, claiming cross-country wins at both Kent Ridge and Jungle Cross II on the Sunday.
 
With its well-established Jungle Cross series, cycling events outfit Cycosports has provided Singapore’s mountain bikers with a steady stream of competitive action over the past few years, but those races at the Centaurs Trail in Turf City have been overwhelmingly geared towards the cross-country fraternity. However, that changed last Saturday when Cycosports staged the inaugural Kent Ridge Carnival, which saw downhill racing take centre stage.

The 2018 MetaSprint Series ended on Sunday with a hugely competitive MetaSprint Triathlon, which saw defending champion Colin O’Shea clinch the men’s title with a scintillating time of 58 minutes and 30 seconds. As fast as his performance was, though, it wasn’t enough to win the Champion of Champions crown, that honour going to Jennifer Zenker, who put in a dominating wire-to-wire performance to not only defend her women’s title but also hold off all the men for the second year in a row.
 
Now in its 11th year, the MetaSprint Series shows no sign of losing its appeal with almost 2,000 competitors and hundreds more supporters and spectators flocking to the race village yesterday on what was a beautiful Sunday morning at the East Coast Park, the traditional home of triathlon in Singapore. As well as the sprint-distance contests which give the MetaSprint Series its name, also on the program were the usual Discovery, Youth and Kids races, and new for this year the Kids Scootathlon.

The OCBC Cycle Singapore National Team Time Trial Championships returned to the Tanah Merah Coastal Road on Sunday on what was a gala occasion for the Singapore road cycling scene. There were many winners, but a quartet from the Allied World Kemp Technologies racing team claimed the most prestigious title when they swept to victory in the Elite Men’s Open Quad category. In the Elite Women’s Quad, it was Anza Cycling who took the honours.

A further 105 teams did battle for the other 13 Quad and Duo titles that were up for grabs. That’s an astonishing number of cyclists and shows the rude health of the sport in Singapore. Click on this link to read the full race report.
