Maximo makes PH team
By Cheska D. Geli
Monday, January 2, 2012
CEBUANO cyclist Luis Miguel “Igi” Maximo fulfilled a dream when he made it to the PHL cycling team and qualified for an Asian competition set next month.
The 16-year-old 7-time Athlete of the Year of Paref-Springdale is the youngest member of the national team and the only junior cyclist from the South.
"Being part of the national team is something to cherish. Wherever this will lead me, I will always race for my hometown Cebu," said Maximo in an e-mail message.
With his inclusion in the Philippine Junior Team last December, Maximo is now part of the delegation that will compete in the 2012 Asian Juniors Cycling Championships this Feb. 8-18 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
He will be in Tagaytay City this month for a training camp with other four junior cyclists under PhilCycling in preparation for the international race.
Maximo got the attention of the national team officials following his performances in two national qualifying races.
In the Tour of Clark in Pampanga last November, Maximo placed second in the Individual Time Trial (ITT) 10K and third place overall in the General Classification standings for the juniors division.
In the Tagaytay Trials last Dec. 12, he finished sixth in the ITT 30K among 22 cyclists despite travel fatigue and pressure from school commitments.
These races, organized by PhilCycling, were held as the national junior team trials.
Among the races he joined prior to the national trials were the Cebu Cycling Criterium, where he placed second in the open age, the Mabitac Classic in Rizal, where he finished 12th in the Junior 20 and the Ormoc City Medical Society Bike Tour, where he placed second in the Junior 19 division.
Cebuano Maximo opens title retention bid in PPCL today
Cebu Daily News
First Posted 08:48:00 06/26/2010
CEBU’S Luis Miguel "Igi" Maximo of Team Maximo, the back-to-back junior champion of the Philippine Premiere Cycling League (PPCL) series, will be defending his title in the 2010 Tour of Clark today.
The event, which covers 74 kilometers for the junior race, is the 4th leg of the PPCL.
Unlike its previous legs, this race will have three stages—individual time trial, circuit race and road race—scattered over two days.
Igi said he is both excited and at the same time a bit tense for this event.
The first two legs which Igi has won were all one-day races held in Paranaque last January and in Laguna last February.
Igi, 15, who is supported by his school, Springdale, and OZ Racing, has prepared for this event by competing in a number of local races to improve his endurance as well as to familiarize himself with the different type of races.
As he goes up against a tougher field which includes junior cyclists from Luzon and other parts of Manila, Igi's chances will lie on his body's ability to rest and recover in between events. /CORRESPONDENTs MARS G. ALISON and Jonas Panerio
POC hopeful cycling tryouts a step towards unification
06/18/2010 | 10:42 PM
Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) spokesperson Joey Romasanta is hoping that the unified tryouts for the RP cycling team is one step to end the leadership crisis and unite the two warring factions of the Integrated Cycling Federation of the Philippines (PhilCycling).
The group headed by Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham “Bambol" Tolentino, recognized by the International Cycling Union (Union Cycliste Internationale, UCI) is at odds with the POC-recognized faction led by chairman Arnulfo Taberdo, who took over the reigns from businessman Mikee Romero.
Both groups sent cyclists to the 2010 Laos Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) but none competed after most of the riders failed to secure licenses from the UCI. Only Marites Bitbit holds a UCI license but was asked by the POC to boycott the tournament.
Romasanta now that the issue of sending a cycling team to the 16th Guangzhou Asian Games resolved, he hopes both groups finally settle their differences to end the leadership crisis.
“Hopefully, there will be a permanent solution to all of this," said Romasanta. “After the Asian Games, there would be a Southeast Asian Games to prepare to."
“I am optimistic that unification is within reach more so if the cyclists win medals. I think both camps are gentleman enough (to settle their differences)," Romasanta said.
POC media attache Clarito Samson, who was in the meeting between the two groups, said UCI-recognized PhilCycling secretary general Atty. Cornelio Padilla guaranteed that cyclists who will qualify after the tryouts will be given UCI license for the Asian Games. – JVP, GMANews.TV
Feuding leaders urged to attend cycling summit
By Abac Cordero (The Philippine Star) Updated June 12, 2010 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - Moying Martelino, who was tasked to mediate between the two warring factions within PhilCycling, yesterday said Tuesday’s reconciliatory meeting will not serve its purpose if the main figures from both sides don’t participate.
“That’s the reason why I’m inviting all the decision makers of both groups, meaning the presidents or secretaries general,” said Martelino, a member of the Philippine Olympic Committee working group for the Guangzhou Asian Games.
Martelino, former secretary-general of the Asian Basketball Confederation, said it will be a waste of time if the rightful leaders of both sides don’t show up. He was referring to businessman Mikee Romero and Tagaytay City Mayor Bambol Tolentino.
There’s some confusion if Romero remains the leader of the group being recognized by the POC because at the height of the leadership dispute the youthful owner of Harbour Centre had either filed a letter of resignation or had gone on leave.
Tolentino heads the other group, which enjoys the blessings of the international federation, the Union Cycliste Internationale or UCI. The meeting was supposed to take place last Wednesday but Tolentino begged off due to a previous commitment.
Martelino said he’s expecting the leaders of both groups to show up. In Romero’s case, the POC mediator said it must be made clear who the rightful representative would be, whether it’s Col. Arnold Taberdo or Armando Bautista.
“I am inviting Mr. Romero because I understand he is only on leave as president of his faction. If he had indeed resigned, then whoever will represent the group must show proof that he is the rightful representative,” said Martelino.
“Otherwise, we’ll just be wasting our time,” he added during the Scoop sa Kamayan forum.
The two groups disputing the leadership of the association clashed head-on during the 2009 SEA Games in Laos when 13 cyclists representing the Romero group was not allowed to compete in the biennial event, and lost their chances to win medals.
They failed to present their licenses from the UCI, which recognizes Tolentino’s group. Now, the POC wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again when the Philippines sends a delegation ot the Guangzhou Asian Games in November.
The POC, through RP Team chef-de-mission Jose Romasanta, called on both groups to set their differences aside and stage a unified qualifying tournament and choose the cyclists to don the RP colors in Guangzhou, regardless of their affiliation.
“I don’t see anyone saying no to this proposal. Even temporarily, I hope the two sides can agree on sending a team to Guangzhou – with no conditions. The only condition here is there should be no condition,” said Romasanta
POC hopes to break cycling impasse
By Abac Cordero (The Philippine Star)
Updated June 08, 2010 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Olympic Committee wants the problem within the Integrated Cycling Federation of the Philippines solved before time runs out on its participation in the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou in November.
“Time is of the essence here. So, we wrote both sides a letter asking them to come,” said Moying Martelino of the POC working committee, which is overseeing the country’s preparations for the quadrennial event.
Martelino, an old hand in RP sports, set the meeting at the POC office at Philsports tomorrow, and he expects representatives from the two warring factions to be there, and hopefully forge a gentleman’s agreement.
“I will be there. If they come, then maybe we can iron out things. If they don’t come, it means they’re not interested,” said Martelino following a POC suggestion for both sides to stage a unified qualifying tournament.
That way, the country can form a team that is acceptable to both groups, and field them to Guangzhou. In the 2009 Laos SEA Games, the RP cyclists were barred from competing as a result of the leadership dispute.
On one side is a group led by Tagaytay City Mayor Bambol Tolentino, the one being recognized by the international federation, and on the other is the group under Armando Bautista, the one being recognized by the POC.
Jose Romasanta, chef-de-mission of the RP Team to Guangzhou, is hoping for both parties to come up with a “mutual agreement” just to make sure that the country can participate in the cycling competitions in Guangzhou.
“There should be no conditions. The only condition here is that there should be no condition. They should set their differences aside even just for the Asian Games. Otherwise, it will be the second time this will happen,” said Romasanta.
“It should be a mutual agreement. They must sit down, and set up the talking points on how to stage the unified qualifying tournament. Then they can sign it, go to Guangzhou, and tackle their problems after the Asian Games,” he added.
The former head of the Project Gintong Alay said they’ve drafted a letter to be submitted to the Union Cycliste Internationale, the world’s governing body in the sport, to inform them of the POC proposal.
