TALKTALK National “B” Cycling Championships
Frank O’Leary was the strongest of our riders today keeping an eye on every move that went away and trying several times to get a small group away from the large field but to no avail. Dan, Alan and Shane were all comfortable in the main field until a bad crash on lap 3 saw the road blocked with Shane on the wrong side of the peloton. The race was decided in the last 500m when the last break of the day was reeled in and Derek Cunningham, winner of the Falling Leaves Classic in Arklow a few weeks ago, attacked hard and just had enough strenght to hold off the Anthony Doyle at the head of the bunch. Declan Kinch was 5th, Mick Doyle 12th and Frank 13th. A blow by blow account of the race is HERE curtesy of David Quigley.
Stephen Kelly took 6th and Tonto Brady 8th in the A4 race. Paul Bolger launched a brave but fruitless effort for 3rd in the last 300m but finished in the bunch with Mike McLean and Mick Howe. With WW’s Gianni Ponzi 4th and Dave Allen 7th theWexford clubs took 4 of the top 8 positions.
