Kevin McCambridge has put in a
very solid ride in the men’s junior time trial on the opening day of the
European Road Championships in Holland.
The Irish teenager placed 17th of
the 58-rider field, going around the 22.4km course in a time of 28:22.
McCambridge, the national TT
champion, did an average speed of 47.36km per hour.
He was 1:30 down on the winner and
exactly 30 seconds off the top 10; a more than decent ride in his debut at this
level.
The Irish teenager has enjoyed a
fantastic season to date, winning the Irish TT crown, placing 3rd in the road
race and 2nd overall in the Junior Tour of Ireland.
