Seth Dunwoody (Cannibal-Victorious U19 Development Team) has taken his first win in a UCI-ranked junior race in France. Fellow Irish rider Patrick Casey (Anexo Group Race Team) also put in a strong ride to take 6th in the same event.
Both riders are competing in the Penn Ar Bed-Pays d'Iroise (2.1) stage race in France and made the breakaway on the opening day of action, some 101.6km from Plouzané to Ploumoguer.
They were part of the nine-rider breakaway that went to the line on yesterday's stage, with Dunwoody proving best in the sprint to the line and opening a gap of two seconds on the rest of the group. Belgian riders Yaxano Smet (Van Moer Logistics Cycling Team) and Rune Duflo (Onder Ons Parike) were 2nd and 3rd.
