Gareth O'Neill has scored victory on the domestic scene for the second weekend in the row, with the Caldwell Cycles rider scoring his third win in the last three years in the Carn Classic.

O'Neill, who won the Boyne GP last weekend in Co Meath with a fine solo effort, was best in a sprint from a six-man breakaway today on Maghera, Co Derry.

He saw off Lindsay Watson (Powerhouse Sport) and Conor Harvey (Four Masters CC) in the final dash to the finish line today after 72 miles of action. O'Neill won the race back in 2019 and again last year.
