by Michael Bascombe

NEW YORK, May 10, 2026 - Grenadian professional cyclist Red Walters continued his impressive run on the international cycling circuit this weekend with another podium finish during competition at the GP Framar in Prague, Czech Republic.

Competing against a strong international field at the Prague Velodrome, Walters secured third place in the Men’s Elite Scratch race on Saturday and narrowly missed another podium finish after placing fourth in the Elite Points Race.

In the 30-lap Elite Scratch event, Walters finished behind Switzerland’s Alex Vogel and Argentina’s Mateo Duque Cano in a highly competitive contest featuring several European and world champions.

The Grenadian rider also produced a commendable performance in the Elite Points Race, finishing fourth behind Germany’s Moritz Augenstein, Ireland’s Kieran Riley, and Poland’s Dominik Ratajczak.

Walters’ busy weekend also included participation in the demanding Omnium event, where he finished seventh on Friday and improved to fourth on Sunday. The Omnium, often described as the “decathlon on wheels,” tests riders across multiple disciplines, including the scratch race, tempo race, elimination race, and points race.

The performances continue a strong season for Walters, who has consistently represented Grenada on the international stage while competing against some of the world’s top professional cyclists.
