Matthew Vieira with his ENet branded bike moments after it was unveiled on Friday evening at MovieTowne
With Guyana’s fastest telecommunications network ENet in his corner, Superstock biker Matthew Vieira is supremely confident of emerging victorious in the highly anticipated ENet Caribbean Clash of Champions on November 5 at the South Dakota Circuit.
Vieira’s Yamaha R6, fully branded by ENet, was unveiled on Friday evening at Outside Lounge, MovieTowne, with much pomp and ceremony.
The unveiling was followed by an official tune up party hosted by Vieira, dubbed ‘Pit Stop.’
“ENet has the fastest service right now and the best service, so it’s only fitting to have the best rider right now in Guyana…so that’s why they chose me,” the #48 biker boasted.

Vieira, who was joined by Chief Executive Officer of ENet Vishok Persaud at the unveiling, is a firm favourite to win the Superstock category, having accumulated 118 points, 50 more than his nearest rival and cousin Stephen Vieira.
Kevin Persaud (60), Heemand Boodhram (45) and Shem Chattersingh (20) round out the top five heading into the season-finale.
Fuelled by Guyana’s leading telecoms provider, Vieira is determined to stay at the peak of the points table, as his sole aim is to repay ENet’s investment by copping the championship.
“That’s what we’re really working for,” he said.
