Daddy Cool: Philip Deignan looks like a very happy man indeed pictured with his daughter Orla who was born yesterday.
Philip & Lizzie Deignan celebrate birth of baby girl
Philip Deignan has had a much bigger gig to attend than the World Road Championships; the birth of his first child.
Orla Deignan arrived into the world yesterday. And parents Philip and Lizzie Deignan have been showing her off on social media this evening.
They've posted these photos to share their delight at the arrival of their new baby girl.
Philip, of course, is one of two Irish pros at Team Sky; Eddie Dunbar having become his team mate in the last couple of weeks.
The 35-year-old Vuelta stage winner is currently in his 14th season as a professional cyclist. He has spent the last five years at Team Sky.

And Lizzie Deignan is the former world road race champion who plans to return to racing next season.
Currently a Boels-Dolmans rider, the 29-year-old new mum has signed with Trek's new women's pro team for 2019.
She is a former Olympic silver medal winner and will be aiming for Tokyo 2020 when she returns.
Lizzie Deignan also has the not so small matter of the World Championships to aim for in her native Yorkshire in 12 months.
The birth of new baby girl Orla follows just four days after another Irish pro, Dan Martin, and his wife Jess celebrated the birth of twin girls.
We wish them all well for many years of happiness ahead.
