MARIGOT—A selection of four cyclists left St. Martin on August 6 to compete in the Cadets category of the French Championships of the future (Championnat de France de L’Avenir) which are taking place from August 9 to 13 in Saint-Martin de Landelles next to Mont St-Michel.
The four are: Jahkim Carty, Brooks Mercedes, Claxton Juliani, and Louis-Isidore Phil. They are accompanied by coach Patricio “Blade” Carty, two assistant coaches, and President of the Territorial Cycling Committee of Saint-Martin, Eric Hélan.
The Cadets race is scheduled for Saturday, August 13. A fifth St. Martiner, Nagau-Grell Dyclaï will be competing in the Junior category of the same Championships and his race takes place on Friday, August 12.
Nagau-Grell now lives in mainland France thanks to the high-performance project set up with the help of the mobility grant from the Collectivité of Saint-Martin, that permits him to continue his studies while training with a high-level cycling team.
No doubt the performances of the five St. Martiners will be keenly followed.
