April 15, 2003 (Trinidad) – After the first week of competition in Trinidad the World Team has been all but demolished. The racing is suited to those who could care less about skin loss and more about a couple of dollars.The world team is comprised of riders for around the world including Columbia, Britain, Czech Republic, Scotland, Belgium, Switzerland and of course Canada. Our contingent includes Alex Maurais, Glen Rendall and Keith Bruneau. The West Indies consists of Cuba, Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana and Jamaica.

In the three days of track racing at Skinner park we (The World Team) have only been able to put one rider on the podium, this was Glen in the 30 lap race. He seems to be the only one able to do anything so far, with the rest of us having to deal with pack finishes. A quick side note, the first year of this race, Kurt Innes wouldn't let the Canadians race on this track. Last year the race was set up so as not to injure anyone and that raised some problems. This year it was flat out scary racing no holds barred.

Next weekend we move on to Barbados where we will be joined by Pavel Buran and others from the Czech republic.

Well, it's off to the beach for a deserved rest, for all riders!!
