Cathir Doyle and Kevin McCambridge have taken another 1-2 in Belgium today; the Irish duo riding away from an international field again.
Doyle took the victory this time, with McCambridge a close 2nd place in Hainaut, Wallonia.
It was a reversal of the result they achieved when they last took flight in a two-man move two weeks ago in Opwijk, Brussels.
Today the two juniors were successful at the GP El Cayoteu, which was contested over 10 laps of an 8.9km course.
A couple of laps into the race the Irish
juniors put themselves in the thick of the attacks.
And when the winning move went it
consisted of Doyle (Powerhouse Sport) and McCambridge (Vitus-Chill-NRPT).

Matthew Devins, himself a top Irish
junior from the Yeats Country club, marshaled the moves back in the main field.
That ensured the efforts to get a chase
going were frustrated, with Doyle and McCambridge riding well clear for a 1-2.
The field consisted of Belgian, French
and Japanese riders, with Miori Kawasaki from Japan rounding out the
podium.
In the end after playing a team mate role for his
compatriots, Devins was 13th on the day.
It was the Irish riders’ final race in Belgium as they
return to Ireland in coming days with an eye on the upcoming Junior Tour of
Wales.
