LEROY WINS GOLD AT PAN AMERICAN MASTERS
Philippe Leroy won Gold on Friday at the 2022 Pan American Masters Road Cycling Championship, held in Barrancabermeja, Colombia from the Friday 11th to Sunday 13th of November 2022. This was first time that the BVI have won a medal at these high-level masters competition and came out on top.

Leroy not having a team of riders was unable to place on day two and three, but clearly showed his ability in the individual event on Friday during the high level of competition which included riders from North & South America, Canada, and the Caribbean.
Overall Philippe Leroy placed 1st in the Time Trials on Friday with Gerardo Moncada of Columbia second an impressive 48 seconds behind Leroy and Fernando Al Grajales also from Columbia third 1 minute 27 seconds back. The road race on Saturday saw Leroy placing 18th this being a team event would have required more BVI cyclists for him to place in the top three.
