Birkirkara St Joseph Sports Club hosted a highly successful time trial event in Mrieħel earlier this month.

The event featured a 20km course spanning eight laps, drawing enthusiastic participation from all local cycling clubs.

Birkirkara St Joseph’s John Camilleri gave a thrilling performance to beat competition from veteran riders such as Team Greens’ Clive Ebejer and Etienne Bonello, Agones’ Mark Bonnici and upcoming riders such Agones’ Luke Borg and Mosta’s Clyve Chetcuti.

The overall winners’ podium was made up of John Camilleri, Luke Borg and Clive Ebejer.

Marie Claire Aquilina took the win in the Ladies’ category. She was followed by Katinka Zahra Lehtonen and Katya Vella, all three representing Team Greens.

“We are thrilled by the overwhelming turnout and support for our time trial event,” said Euchar Camilleri, secretary general of Birkirkara St Joseph Sports Club.

“It was truly motivating to see cyclists from different clubs come together and push their limits on the course.”

Trophies to the winners were presented by John Zammit, president of the Malta Cycling Federation.

In a statement, the Birkirkara SJ club thanked the Birkirkara Local Council for their support in hosting the event. The club’s next event on their racing calendar will be an Olympic and Sprint Distance Triathlon in Salina on Sunday.
