Just weeks out from the National TT Championships Paul Kennedy has fine tuned his form with a win in the Naas Open TT today.

The Foran CC man was a bronze medal winner in the elite nationals last year behind Ryan Mullen (Trek-Segafredo) and Marcus Christie (PSBR).

Today he was best in the 38.3km test in Kilbride in a time of 50:03, clocking an average speed of 45.613km per hour.

Luke Smith (Bio-DHL-FRS) was 2nd at 59 seconds while Eoin Woods (North Tipperary Wheelers) was 3rd some 3:06 off Kennedy.
