Dan Martin’s winner’s jersey from the 2013 Volta A Catalunya is among the top items up for auction at the Emerald Fund Banquet which is just over a week away.
It is Martin’s biggest stage race victory to date but he’s willing to auction the jersey to the highest bidder to help raise money for the fund on November 14th in Dunboyne Castle, Co Meath.
Among the other items up for auction are a signed Scottish rugby team jersey, cycling holidays in Majorca and the south of France as well as a top quality Trek road bike.
Sam Bennett is offering one of his Bora-Argon 18 jerseys, Eddie Dunbar an NFTO jersey and Damien Shaw giving away his national champion’s jersey to the highest bidder.
The Emerald Fund will seek to raise money by promoting a number of events and will then disperse the cash to emerging Irish riders.
The programme of events for next week includes a morning sportive followed by an evening banquet and auction.
Cycling legend Sean Kelly will take part in the sportives and there are three routes available; a 70k circuit, a 44k option as well as a 12k course for kids.
