TOP NATIONAL road cyclist Emile Abraham finished third on the penultimate stage of the Tour of Trinidad and Tobago Independence Cycling Classic, the 96-kilometre Ahamad Charles Stage, yesterday.

But the overall points standings were still be tabulated by the organisers, up to press time last evening.

Nonetheless, Abraham followed winner Timo Scholz of Team CCN and Ben Simmons of Primol Europe across the finish line, with Jamol Eastman of Rafmon Mecalfab and Marloe Rodman of Team Petrotrin trailing.

The Ninth Stage began at Frisco Junction in Point Fortin, with the pedallists travelling through Erin, Palo Seco, Siparia, Penal, Debe, Ste Madeleine, Princes Town and Rio Claro before ending at the BP Resource Centre, Mayaro.

The Tour concludes today with Stage Ten, the 96km Cedric Weekes Stage, from 2 pm. The riders will begin the final stage outside the Mayaro Indoor Sports Facility in Mayaro and head along the east coast, through Manzanilla, to Sangre Grande. From Sangre Grande, the riders will head west, via Valencia and Arima, to the finish line outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Port-of-Spain.
