Eoin McGovern put in a very strong and consistent performance around Punchestown in Co Kildare yesterday, Sunday, to take a great win in the B Race of the Fixx Coffeehouse Supercross Cup.
The Dublin Wheelers man survived a late charge from Keith O’Sullivan (Sorrento CC), who took longer than McGovern to get going on the fast course.
Neither rider got off to a quick start, with Barry Dace (Orwell Wheelers) by far the quickest out of the blocks, absolutely whipping around the first lap of eight in a time of 5:23. That would have put him among the early leaders in the A Race later in the afternoon.
McGovern’s opening lap time of 5:48 put him in 8th passing through the start-finish line with one circuit complete, though he already had a considerable 16 seconds in hand on eventual runner up O’Sullivan.

McGovern was again quicker than the Sorrento man on laps two and three, putting four seconds and two seconds respectively into O’Sullivan. Indeed McGovern’s second lap time was the quickest of the 61-man field and his time on the third lap was second fastest.
However, with three laps complete O’Sullivan began to crank it up, matching McGovern with the joint fastest time – 5:43 - on the fourth lap and from there chipping away at the lead of the Dublin Wheelers man.
He flew around the 5th lap six seconds faster, though McGovern sensed his lead being reduced and dug in hard on the 6th lap to pull four seconds out of the chaser. O’Sullivan was not daunted though, closing the gap by two seconds on the penultimate lap before a massive dig on the last lap saw him take 12 seconds out of McGovern.

However, those last ditch heroics were not enough on the day and McGovern hung on out front to win by six seconds from O’Sullivan.
David McCann also put in a very strong and consistent ride to take third, just 14 seconds down on O’Sullivan, with the early leader Dace back in 4th place a further 17 seconds adrift.
