Athletic career

In 2006, Jude Bentley won the domestic Diamond Mineral Water Race . In the same year he started at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia in road races and points on the track . He was unable to finish both competitions, but was subsequently banned from the national association for three years for indiscipline behavior during the Games.

In 2010 he became vice-champion of the road race in Guiana, and in 2012 he was time trial champion.

In 2020 Bentley, who was a sports idol in his home country, was pushed off the road by a car driving next to him on a training drive in his hometown. He fell and suffered fatal injuries.
