Victoria Sports Pro Cycling (VSPC), the country’s premier professional cycling team, delivered an outstanding performance at this year’s Philippine National Championships, securing multiple victories across different categories.
Competing against the country’s top cyclists were VSPC riders Alexis Pagara, Jude Francisco, Miguel Obmerga, Marcelo Felipe, Ismael Grospe Jr., Nichol Pareja, and Daniel Cariño, who demonstrated skill, endurance, and determination throughout the competition. Marcelo Felipe emerged as the National Road Race Champion, while Nichol Pareja claimed the silver medal in the Individual Time Trial. VSPC’s developmental riders also showcased their rising talent, with Rush Camingao winning the Under-23 Road Race Championship and Darius Villaseñor securing the title of Junior Individual Time Trial National Champion.
“This achievement is a testament to the hard work and discipline of our riders,” said VSPC founder Pako Ochoa. “Our goal has always been to develop world-class Filipino cyclists, and this result brings us one step closer to that vision. The team is more motivated than ever, and we will continue pushing the boundaries to prove that Filipino cyclists belong on the world stage. We are grateful for everyone who has been with us on this journey. We wouldn’t have come this far without those who believe in us.”
Pako also emphasized the team’s commitment to sustained excellence. “This is just the beginning. Our riders have shown incredible progress, and we’re ready for the challenges ahead. With the right support and preparation, we believe that we can achieve even bigger milestones in our upcoming races.”
VSPC remains focused on elevating Philippine cycling and preparing for future competitions. Their next international race is set for the Tour de Taiwan on March 16. As professional cycling continues to gain traction in the country, VSPC aims to pave the way for more Filipino riders to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
