Liam Curley has taken victory in the main event at the Starsky CC Grand Prix in Rathcoole, Co Dublin, today.

Curley (Spellman Dublin Port) won the race in a sprint from a five-man breakaway when he prevailed despite coming up against All human-VeloRevolution team mates Daire Feeley and Mark Dowling.

While Feeley had won the Noel Teggart Memorial in the North 24 hours earlier and he and Dowling are among the most prolific riders on the home scene, Curley got the better of them on the uphill sprint to the line.

Feeley had to settle for 2nd place this time around, with Dowling claiming the final spot on the podium with 3rd place. Cian Keogh (Spellman Dublin Port) and Conor Murnane (UCD Cycling Club) were also in the breakaway and took 4th and 5th respectively.

Megan Armitage, riding for UCD Cycling Club, took a strong solo victory in the women's race. Carthach McCarthy (Blarney Cycling Club) was 2nd and Caoimhe May (Orwell Wheelers) placed 3rd.

And in the A3-Junior race, Con Scully of Carlow Road Cycling Club claimed the win, with the honours also coming down to a sprint from the breakaway.
