Nicole Mitchell finished in third place in the women’s road race at the Elite Caribbean Cycling Championships in Martinique today.

Her bronze medal should qualify Bermuda’s cycling team for a place in the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games, to be held in Barranquilla, Colombia next August.

“Her result today required a great deal of preparation for several months and we’re pleased to see her return to this competition and achieve such a strong result,” Peter Dunne, the Bermuda Cycling Association President, said.

Dominique Mayho finished a strong eleventh place in the men’s time-trial.
