Bryan McCrystal has set a blistering time at the Warrenpoint 10 Mile TT, winning the 111-rider event by a large margin from Christopher McGlinchey and clocking some impressive numbers. Above, in action earlier in the season.
Having broken the IronMan national record twice at the tail end of last year and recently won the elite Irish duathlon title, the versatile Bryan McCrystal has been in great form for months.
And last night the ASEA-Wheelworx man from Co Louth came home the winner of the huge 111-rider field at the Warrenpoint 10 Mile Time Trial, which was part of the TVR Open Series.
He clocked a time of 19mins 34secs, taking the win by 42 seconds from Christopher McGlinchey, the up and coming Chainreaction rider who won Kerry Group Rás Mumhan at Easter and was yesterday named on the Irish team for the An Post Rás.

When you ride with a power meter, you’ll notice how your power jumps all over the place based on the terrain, grade, wind, and other factors. Weighted Average Power looks at all of this variation and provides an average power for your ride that is a better indicator of your effort than simply taking your average power. It is our best guess at your average power if you rode at the exact same wattage the entire ride.
