MANILA, Philippines: JONEL CARCUEVA was a monster on the Sampaloc climb to capture his a third straight Men Elite road race crown in the PhilCycling National Championships for Road 2024 on Friday.

Just like what he did in the last two years, Carcueva, riding out of Cebu City, made his dominant move in the climb back to Tagaytay City to clock 4 hours, 23 minutes and 23.40 seconds to win the gold medal in the premiere event of the championships presented by Standard Insurance and MVP Sports Foundation and organized by PhilCyling headed by Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham 'Bambol' Tolentino, also president of the Philippine Olympic Committee.
