Fresh from their stage wins in the Vuelta and Tour of Beijing, Dan Martin and cousin Nicolas Roche are set for a number of public appearances in Ireland when the season ends after next weekend’s Tour of Lombardy.
Roche was to have been in Dublin last week to promote his book ‘Inside the Peloton’ - written with journalist Gerard Cromwell.
However, his team insisted he travel to the Tour of Beijing to try and win some UCI ranking points that are badly needed to secure his Ag2r squad’s continued presence in cycling’s top flight next year.
Roche has now rescheduled those public appearances and will promote his book in Dublin on October 18th.
He is appearing on TV3’s Ireland AM programme that morning and is also expected to do a book signing, though the details have not yet been finalised.
