|
By Josef T. Ramos, Correspondent
IRISH Velenzuela and three other veterans made their presence felt
in the Padyak Pinoy 2009 Tour of Champions on Saturday as they
positioned themselves in the top 10 general individual
classification after Stage 2, which saw the riders slice through the
Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX).
The 2006 Padyak Pinoy Rookie of the Year
Valenzuela, a 22-year-old who was almost drafted by an Indonesian
professional team in 2008, led a 10-man first group that finished
the 210-kilometer out-and-back stage via Olongapo City in four
hours, 52 minutes and 55 seconds.
