It may have been Damien Shaw of An Post-Chainreaction who took the honours in the main event at the Cycleways Cup in Navan on Sunday, but the Mullingar man's team wasn't the only Continental squad with representation in the field in Meath.
Young Michael O'Loughlin also graced the peloton and he was decked out in the colours of another Continental squad Team Wiggins.
As Sean Rowe's shots reveals, the young Carrick man looks like the real deal as he gets used to being part of an international team which is lead by and takes its name from Britain's first ever Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins.

O'Loughlin, who was also riding a nice team-issue Pinarello mount on Sunday, will compete on the home scene until his college exams are over in a couple of months.
After that he will begin racing in Britain and further afield with Team Wiggins in what seems like a wise move for a rider in his first year as an U23.
