Dan Martin (Etixx-QuickStep) has had another great year, with Sam Bennett (Bora-Argon 18) also taking three victories despite a near season-ending spill at the start of the Tour de France.
Nicolas Roche of Team Sky came very close indeed to winning the Tour de Yorkshire and the Abu Dhabi Tour; finishing 2nd overall on both.
Roche also took a very popular victory in the road race and TT at the National Road Championships on Irish soil in June.
