Eric Carandang (Team Look Carrera Alabang), Overall Tour Winner
"Well done with the race organization (especially for keeping everyone's safety as top priority). Mr. Mon Medina of Ayala Corporation thanks for the support you have continuously given our chosen sport, we need more people like you. Bobby de Jesus, for providing us with great looking uniforms, we look forward to the team bikes during next year's races... and most especially to Team Look Carrera Alabang for executing the race strategy to perfection! Proud to be part of this squad!"
Joel Gironella (Team Look Carrera Alabang), Team Captain
Comments after Stage 2 road race: "I felt like I was in a real team race. My 4 guys in the front, forming a red train, while I was in the Yellow Jersey at the back of my 4th rider. As we approached the climb of Mabitac, the speeds suddenly went ballistic! John Wilkie (Team Captain of Team John Wilkie A) himself at the front. This guy is something else. Imagine, John is more than 50 years old! He is pulling the group at close to 42kph on the flats."
Atty. Maxie Abad (Team Look Carrera Alabang), Team Rider
"It was a great 3 stages of tour racing and all competitors were winners just being there and racing. It was truly a memorable experience for me, being my first time to join such a tour for executives. I was truly privileged to be part of such a talented team. Everyone was awesome and really worked as a team selflessly. I hope to have that privilege again in the future. I will surely cherish this experience."
Alfie Reyes (Team Velocity A), Team Captain
"Eric Carandang truly deserved the overall win and he had a dominating performance. His team (Team Look Carrera Alabang) won the 1st stage TTT. Eric won the 2nd stage road race and then he also won the 3rd stage ITT hill climb today. And all this, just months after he thought of quitting the sport due to a broken collarbone accident while riding in Ayala Alabang Village."
Shintaro Valdes (Team Velocity C), Team Rider
"Wow! I never thought stage racing would be this punishing. I was just glad to have finished the race!"
Word of thanks
World Cycling Adventures Organizers would want to thank wholeheartedly Mr. Dodo Reyes (Head, Advertising & Media Corporate Marketing) of Globe Telecom for his financial sponsorship. We hope to build a relationship in the coming years. Again, we thank you sir!
To the ultimate Executive Cyclist, Mr. Mon Medina of Ayala Corporation, World Cycling Adventures Organizers shall be forever grateful for that "little help" in securing sponsorship from Globe Telecom for this Tour. Thank you very much Mon! The ideals and goals you have set for Philippine Executive cycling shall always be remembered.
To all the executive cyclists who participated, thank you! Without you there would be no Tour. The success of the Globe Telecom Cycling Challenge 2003 was because of you. Congratulations! May the spirit last forever!
