Darragh O'Mahony, the Irish U23 road race champion, is to
move up to UCI Continental level for the remainder of the season with EvoPro
Racing.
The Irish team, which is in its first season, is taking
on O’Mahony for a programme of racing to see out the current season.
O’Mahony was yesterday part of the national team that
rode the U23 road race at the European Road Championships in Alkmaar, the
Netherlands.
He was held up by crashes and was among the non
finishers. However, he has performed well in recent seasons, including going on
the attack repeatedly at the Tour de l’Avenir two years ago.
O’Mahony rode for the O’Leary Stone Kanturk team in
Ireland, winning a series of races as a first-year elite in 2017 including the
Des Hanlon Memorial.
