Eddie Dunbar has taken a significant victory on foreign soil this afternoon when he lapped a high-quality field in the Harze-GD Prix Guidon D'Or junior circuit race in Belgium.
The O'Leary's Stone Kanturk rider, riding in the colours of Tempo-Bruns over the weekend, raced a similar event in Belgium yesterday with his team mate Dylan O'Brien, taking third and sixth respectively.
And the duo were at it again today, though going markedly better.
Dunbar, who took 10 victories at home last year - including the Junior Tour of Ireland - and has already tasted success this season with a runaway win in Limerick last weekend, demolished today's field.

The race was 21 laps of a 3.6 kilometre hilly circuit and Dunbar blasted away on his own on just the second lap, with nobody in the field willing or able to go with him.
O'Brien finished seventh and spared no effort in chasing down a number of attacks that threatened his team mate and lone leader.
More to follow.
Dylan O'Brien (leading) racing on the Continent last year; he's bagged two top 10 placings in Belgium this weekend, bolstering his chances of selection on the Irish team for the Euros or Worlds later in the season.
