Ace Cyclist, Ajibade Quadri, on Saturday returned the time of 1hr 47:39 to emerge the winner and got the star prize of N1.7 million at the maiden edition of the CyclingLagos.
NAN reported that, the grand finale of the CyclingLagos which took place on the designated routes, started at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Quadri, however, stole the show as he rode past his stiff opponent, Samuel Fasima, who eventually came second, while Afis Bakare came third and Eyo Effioh came in the fourth Position.
On his conquest of the competition, the gold medalist, Quadri, said that he was elated to have emerged the champion of the competition which he described as tough.
“I am happy to have emerged champion. I never expected it, though I trained hard for it.
“Anybody can be a champion of the competition because we are all trained for it.
“Winning this competition will, however, afford me the opportunity of sharpening my skills in cycling because it is what I do all the time.
“I am also happy that we have been promised more competition because that is what will make us more relevant. Without competition, our trainings will amount to nothing.
“I look forward to more competitions as I will appeal for more corporate sponsorships because cycling also makes people healthy aside from the competitive part of it,’’ he said.
