Here's a real treat for us; a tour of the trophy room in Sean Kelly's house in his native Carrick-on-Suir.
Kelly's daughter Stacey takes some of the riders and staff from the An Post-Chainreaction team inside the family home for a tour of the room where the former world No 1 and Vuelta winner keeps his trophies.
Also stored there are some other great pieces of memorabilia such as the classification jerseys he won, the old team jerseys he wore and even the caps and flags presented to him on the occasion of winning so many great races.
His first bike, from 1968 and looking very much the worse for wear, is also featured in the clip below.
In this film are An Post-Chainreaction manager Kurt Bogaerts and riders Irish-born Australian international Robert-Jon McCarthy, Kiwi international Shane Archbold and British international Owain Doull.
