Bermuda’s top cyclist Nicholas Narraway has successfully completed one of North America’s most demanding stage races, finishing 37th overall as the 2026 Redlands Bicycle Classic reached its conclusion in California.
The final day of racing saw the professional men’s peloton face the infamous Sunset Road Race, a punishing 91.1-mile test defined by significant elevation gain and aggressive tactical maneuvers.
Representing Competitive Edge Racing, Narraway was among 140 of the continent’s elite riders tasked with navigating the brutal course under the relentless California sun.
The fifth stage was dominated by Kent Ross, who took the win in 3:25:42.
Narraway found himself in the secondary groups as the pace intensified on the final climbs, eventually crossing the line in 52nd place with a time of 4:12:50.
Despite the time gap on the final day, Narraway’s consistency throughout the week proved vital. Having hovered around the top ten in earlier stages, the Bermudian youngster finished the tour with a combined time of 10:20:17.
This placed him 37th in the final general classification, just over 48 minutes behind the overall champion, Eder Moctezuma.
For Narraway, the week marks a successful outing on the international circuit.
Navigating high-speed criteriums and grueling road stages reinforces his status as one of the region’s rising prospects as he looks ahead to the remainder of the spring season.
