Paidi O’Brien only needed a sniff of the line today in Carrick to make sure of another win
By Brian Canty
Paidi O'Brien has won his second race in as many weeks when he galloped to victory in today's Carrick Wheelers Cup in Carrick-on-Suir.
The Planet-Tri rider looked in real trouble as he, along with the second group on the road, took the bell for the final lap some 40 seconds behind a front group of 20 riders that broke off the front midway through the second lap.
But the Banteer native never panicked and when the two groups merged in the final third of the race, he did what he is best at, taking the sprint ahead of Simon Ryan (Visit Nenagh) with Michael Lucey (Iverk Produce Carrick Wheelers) in third.
