He came to Manila in pursuit of his cycling dreams, and ruling the convenience store brand&#x27;s race could be the start of his journey to the national stage.&quot;Sa Mindanao po, nagsasaka po kami ng mais saka saging,&quot; said Moñasque, sharing his humble beginnings.As a kid, he started biking for a very Filipino reason – to quickly follow his parents&#x27; instructions. &quot;Bata pa ako, nakikita ko na &#x27;yung mga nagba-bike... Para &#x27;pag utusan ako, mabilis lang akong babalik sa bahay,&quot; he said.Moñasque intends to continue his journey in this year&#x27;s iteration of the newly-improved Tour of Luzon, hoping to bring the momentum of ruling the 7-Eleven Trail to the 14-stage cycling race in the North.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/othersports/2026/2/23/2026-tour-of-luzon-features-bigger-cash-prize-14-stages-1929">READ: 2026 Tour of Luzon features bigger cash prize, 14 stages</a></div>He was followed by Adrian Nacario, who crossed the finish line with a time of 1:54:36, and another Go For Gold biker, James Carl Dela Cruz, who completed the race in 1:54:37, completing the podium finishers.Meanwhile, Emmanuel Dave Montemayor, who was seeking a four-peat during this race, was dethroned after crashing his bike midway through, reportedly at around 15 kilometers into the race.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/othersports/2025/5/6/joo-dae-yeung-standard-insurance-philippines-take-lions-share-of-tour-of-luzon-cash-pot-1725">READ: Joo Dae Yeung, Standard Insurance Philippines take lion&#x27;s share of Tour of Luzon cash pot</a></div>The 7-Eleven Trail Series began in 2014, attracting riders – from elite to amateur levels – from all around the country to test their skills on the mountainous trails of San Mateo.&quot;Reaching our 10th year is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of. What began as a simple idea to encourage people to get outdoors and stay active has grown into a race that brings together riders, families, and communities from all over the country,&quot; said Jose Victor Paterno, Chairman of the Board of Philippine Seven Corporation.&quot;Every year, we see athletes push their limits, and newcomers take on their first major challenge. That sense of community and shared achievement is what the 7-Eleven Trail is all about,&quot; he added.
