Saturday cycle races - MTC & Petromoc

Saturday 28th of May saw The Ministry of Transport & Communications (MTC) as well as Petromoc each organising a short cycle race.

The 8km MCT race, which started at 8am from Shoprite Maputo and finished at FACIM ended with the following results:

1st Gustavo da Silva
2nd Antonio "Kinha" Fonseca
3rd Joao Antonio "Betinho" Cuambe


Petromoc's 14km race started at 10:15 at the OMM square and was two laps of the Lenine / Mao Tse Tung / Nyerere / Kaunda roads, and saw the following finish in a hotly contented sprint:

1st Joao Antonio "Betinho" Cuambe
2nd Gustavo da Silva
3rd Joao Rodrigues

It is good to see these initiatives promoting cycling within Maputo. The races had good TV coverage, police escort as well as ambulance on stand-by. We thank the organisers and sponsors for organising and hope to see more of these events in the future
