Eoin O’Connell has taken his third win of the year with a brilliant victory in the Newbridge CC-promoted Paddy Flanagan Memorial in Kildare this afternoon.
The Killarney CC man was a worthy winner after making the day’s break and staying out front for the entire race.
In the break were Mick Fitzgerald (Strata3-VeloRevolution), Matteo Cigala (Aquablue), Joe Fenlon (Strata3-VeloRevolution), Philip Lavery (Bikehaus by Ridley), Stephen Shanahan (ASEA-Wheelworx) and Cian Delaney (Stamullen CC).
O’Connell was clearly feeling strong and he attacked on the fourth of six laps and only Fitzgerald responded.
