Noah Lyles shared glimpses of his training, issuing a bold message ahead of the 2024 Racer Grand Prix, slated for June 1, at the Jamaica National Stadium in Kingston. He unabashedly asked his rivals to move, since it was his time to shine.

Lyles, 26, took an attempt to break Usain Bolt's 150m world record at the 2024 Atlanta City Games but was just 0.06s behind. However, another achievement ushered in when his 150m winning time of 14.41s tied him with the American record time, set by Tyson Gay.

On June 1, 2024, the six-time World champion will share the 100m line-up with iconic names like Zharnel Hughes and Ferdinand Omanyala, among others.

In anticipation of the vehement contest, Noah Lyles shared a carousel of photos on his Instagram account, illustrating his training laps at the Eddie S. Henderson Stadium in Georgia. He cheekily asked his rivals to stop having fun, since it was his turn to take the spotlight.

"I let y’all have your fun for too long. My Turn!" Lyles' caption read.

Noah Lyles will also have the world record in his mind at the Racers Grand Prix. The Florida native's 100m wins at the Tom Jones Memorial and Bermuda Grand Prix came after he nabbed the 60m silver at the World Indoor Championships.

In one of his interviews, the 26-year-old confirmed that he will vie for four golds at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite his World Indoor Championships 4x400m relay controversy, Lyles stood firm in his decision to take a shot at 400m.

"I will be training specifically for the 100 and 200 and be as strong as possible in the 400. I am the best in shape I’ve ever been in my life. And I know I’ve been saying that for the past two years, but it’s very true," he said (via Sportstar).

Noah Lyles will join Jaydon Hibbert in a walk-through before the Racers Grand Prix final race

Jaydon Hibbert, 19, is the U20 record holder in the triple jump. Hailing from Jamaica, the three-time CARIFTA Games gold medalist summoned fans to the Jamaica National Stadium before the final race kicked in.

Taking to his X handle, Hibbert announced that he and Noah Lyles will partake in a walk-through, a rehearsal before the Racers Grand Prix contention.

"Guys, come out early! Noah and I will be doing our walk through at Racers!!!!" his caption read.

Lyles has accepted that making a team in the Olympics is "one of the hardest teams to make in the world" (via Sportstar). Nevertheless, he will look forward to unleashing his prowess on the track in the Trials in June.
