Video: Sean Kelly under pressure training on Stelvio Giro climb

Sean Kelly gets the miles in on the Stelvio; it looked hard but he seems to be in great shape.

 

Most of the pros would have gone out training during their Giro d’Italia rest day yesterday.

And the Eurosport commentary team, including Irish legend Sean Kelly, was no different.

The Carrick-on-Suir man was out running with his colleague and fellow ex pro Brian Smith on the Stelvio climb.

And with the air thin and the gradients going skywards, they looked like they were under pressure.

Smith has posted a couple of clips of the pair of them in action.

Kelly, who has passed his 60th birthday, wasn’t too keen to go to the top of the climb.

But he’s clearly in great shape and still working hard to keep fit; fair play!
