Joven looking to a better 2018 Ronda Pilipinas

Army-Bicycology's Cris Joven is set to improve on last year's effort at Ronda Pilipinas.

The thirty-year-old cyclist finished in third place behind the Navy-Standard Insurance duo of Jan Paul Morales and Rudy Roque, doing so with minimal preparation. This time, he enters the upcoming race with a lot of optimism.

In Filipino, he shares, "Compared to last year, I’m better prepared now so hopefully I could contend and challenge them again."

Complementing the Iriga native for Army-Bicycology are Alfie Catalan, Merculio Ramos, Jr., Marvin Tapic, Reynaldo Navarro, and Alvin Benosa, as Cris attemps to fend off both Jan Paul and Rudy, as well as other main contenders Santy Barnachea of Team Franzia and Irish Valenzuela of CCN Superteam.

The 2018 edition of Ronda commences at Vigan on March 3, with twelve stages that will traverse the island of Luzon until March 18. The race is presented by presented by LBC and supported by MVP Sports Foundation, CCN, Petron, Versa.ph, 3Q Sports Event Management, Inc., Boy Kanin, Franzia, Standard Insurance, Bike Xtreme, SH+, Guerciotti, Prolite, Green Planet, Maynilad, NLEX Cycling, Lightwater, LBC Foundation and PhilCycling.

A million pesos is at stake.
