The event poster lists Jerry Lumba among its Marlboro Tour standouts. Of the four riders in that group, his career is the best recorded.
The Philippine Cycling History group describes him as “time trialist Marlboro pro veteran Jerry Centeno Lumba from Angeles City”. The Voice Newsweekly named him among the professional cyclists honored at the city’s Mayor Pogi Lazatin Bikefest in March 2024.
The 1996 Marlboro Tour
He rode the 1996 Marlboro Tour. Thirty years later, on August 14, 2026, the bike shop where he works looked back on it.

Victor Espiritu won the Tour that year. Two years later the Marlboro era closed with the Centennial Tour of 1998. Our short history of the Philippine tours covers those years.
As the shop’s post says, he is now head mechanic at Bikeworx Bike Shop.
His stage results, his overall placings and his other years in the Tour are not yet on the public record we have found.
If you rode with Jerry Lumba, or have photos or clippings from his Tours, please get in touch. We would like this page to say more.
