Subaru provides tour vehicle for cycle race
Motor Image Pilipinas, the Philippine
distributor of Subaru vehicles, will provide a Forester sport-ute to
serve as tour vehicle in a cycling event by Spyder Optics and Elite
Multi-Sport Resources. Called the Spyder Executive Road Cycling (XRC)
Race Series 2008, the event will kick off on February 23 and 24 at
the Diosdado Macapagal Highway, Parañaque City.
The Spyder Executive Road Cycling Race Series
2008 will involve more than 200 cyclists who will vie for team and
individual honors. At stake are awards for Men’s Category A Team,
Category B Team and Category C Team; and Women’s Elite Team and
Women’s Sports Team. This year, four major awards have been
included: XRC Sprint King, XRC King of the Mountains, XRC Best Team
(team who wins most point in 2 TTT events) and XRC Time Trialist
(Prologue and ITT points winner).
The event will follow the same four-race format
adopted last year with each leg set in a different location,
presenting the racers with four distinct challenges. Individual and
team points earned at each of the legs shall be combined to
determine the final series winners.
The initial leg will be a Team Time Trial on a
course that’s a favorite among weekend cyclists. It is a flat
course that looks deceivingly easy but the wide, open space makes it
quite notorious for its strong, unpredictable winds.
The second leg, set on May 24 and 25, will be an
Individual Time Trial and Road Race in Tagaytay City. It will be set
amid scenic coffee plantations, while the Road race will use an
established SEA Games course.
Clark Field in Pampanga will be the venue for
the third leg’s Team Time Trial and Road Race that’s set on
September 20 and 21, while the fourth leg will be held at the Subic
Bay Freeport on December 6 and 7. The road race will traverse
Subic’s well-paved winding mountain and seaside roads, and a run
will also be held at the Subic International Raceway.
With the success generated from last year’s
event, a growing number of cycling clubs and triathlon teams have
begun to appreciate the professional level of competition,
consistent officiating, and well-managed races of the Spyder XRC
Race Series—which has been considered as “the premiere annual
multi-leg race series in the league.”
