Andy Maguire wins Wexford Road Race Champs
On the same day his team mate won the Meath title, Andy Maguire has won the Wexford Road Race Championships.
Like Jack Caldwell in Meath, Gerard-DHL’s Maguire took a solo win in Camross having shaken off a breakaway.
In the Wexford title race the winning escape would get clear early; four men taking flight.
Maguire was in that move along with some very experienced campaigners over three 15km laps of the Adamstown Quarry hills circuit.
Anthony Doyle (Strata 3-VeloRevoltion) was with him as were Declan Kinch (Slipstream) and Richard Barry (St Finbarr’s).
They worked together and continued to build a lead that proved the winning of the race, with nobody else getting across.
