The Bermuda Bicycle Association has named a five-rider national team to represent Bermuda at the 2026 Caribbean Junior Road Cycling Championships in Belize.
The championships bring together leading young cyclists from across the Caribbean, with the competition programme running from August 20 to 24. The individual time trial will take place on Saturday, August 22, followed by the road race on Sunday, August 23.
Bermuda will be represented by:
Junior Men
• Jacob Wright – individual time trial and road race
• Keon Stevens – individual time trial and road race
Juvenile Men
• Jonah MacGuinness – road race
• Dylan Eiselt – individual time trial and road race
• Jens Drea – individual time trial and road race
The team will be supported by Darren Glasford, Chequan Richardson and Peter Dunne.
Wright and Stevens return to the championships after making their debuts in Barbados in 2025, while MacGuinness, Eiselt and Drea are set to make their first appearances at the regional competition.
Wright earned a bronze medal in last year’s Juvenile Men’s individual time trial before producing an aggressive performance in the road race. Stevens also gained valuable international experience in his championship debut, which marked his first competition outside Bermuda.
“This is an exciting team that combines returning championship experience with three riders competing at this level for the first time,” said Peter Dunne, President of the Bermuda Bicycle Association. “Representing Bermuda at a regional championship is an important step in a young rider’s development. We are looking forward to seeing each of them embrace the opportunity, support one another and compete with determination.”
The championship time trial will be held on Boom Road. Junior Men will race over 20 kilometres, while the other categories will complete a 15-kilometre course.
The road race will take place on a circuit along the Philip Goldson Highway. Junior Men will complete 12 laps covering 93.6 kilometres, while the other categories will race eight laps over 62.4 kilometres.
Before racing begins, Bermuda’s riders will join the other participating nations for the official national team presentation on Friday, August 21, at the Best Western Belize Biltmore Plaza.
The championships form an important part of the Bermuda Bicycle Association’s junior development pathway, giving young riders the opportunity to experience international competition and test themselves against the Caribbean’s emerging cycling talent.
The Bermuda Bicycle Association wishes the riders and support team every success as they prepare to represent the island in Belize.
