SEAG-bound cyclists to join Tour of Taiwan

Five Southeast Asian Games-bound cyclists will banner the Philippine team in the Tour of Taiwan set October 29 to November 2.

The team composition will have two mountainbikers and three road racers.

The two mountainbikers are Nino Surban and Frederick Feleciano with Jerome "Ome" Rodriguez accompanying them in behalf of his father, Danao City Councilor Oscar "Boying" Rodriguez, Jr.

Eusebio Quinones was enlisted earlier in the line-up, but RP mountainbike coach Renato Mier said that their head coach Jommel Lorenzo intervened and gave the slot of Quiñones, the Vietnam SEA Games gold medallist, to another road racer.

The road racers lineup to be sent to Taiwan is not available as off this writing with Mier, admitting he is not familiar the riders.
