Former World Track Racing Champion Martyn Irvine Joins Strong International Line Up For An Post Rás
 |
| Martyn Irvine, Madison Genesis |
Having dominated the Shay Elliott Memorial last Sunday confirming that his form is in a very good place, Martyn Irvine is a late addition to the Britain Madison-Genesis team for the An Post Rás and will return for the first time since 2012.
Irvine is the 2013 World Scratch Race Champion on the track and while he has focussed mainly on velodrome racing in recent years, his strong Elliott solo victory suggests he could well be in the mix in the UCI ranked international event. More>>>
Irish Duo Part Of Ambitious An Post Chain Reaction Team
 |
| Conor Dunne An Post Chainreaction |
 |
| Ryan Mullen An Post Chainreaction |
With the start of the 2015 An Post Rás just days away, An Post-Chain Reaction Sean Kelly team manager Kurt Bogaerts has named a strong five-man line-up. They will tackle the gruelling eight day, stage race, which begins this Sunday May 17th in Dunboyne, Co. Meath.
With the team hampered by injuries in recent weeks, Bogaerts includes Conor Dunne and Ryan Mullen as the two Irish riders, alongside Great Britain’s Joshua Edmondson, Lithuania’s Aidis Kruopis and New Zealander Aaron Gate.
Dunne led the Rás back in 2013, picking up the Stage 1 win from Longford to Nenagh, while Irish Elite Road Race Champion and time-trial specialist, Ryan Mullen, is also included in the team, in what will be his first Rás.
Edmondson goes into the Rás in dazzling form following his 6th place finish overall at the Tour d’Azerbaidjan, which included a win on the 177km third stage in Gabala.
Bogaerts is looking forward to his teams’ return to Irish soil and believes the new route changes will add greatly to the unpredictability An Post Rás has long been known for over the years. More>>>

If you're racing in France, you move from Castle Town to Castle Town, surrounded by hairdressers and pharmacies.
If you're racing in Belgium you hit concrete pavements after concrete pavements, with a pint of something, never out of eyeshot.
If you are racing in Holland you can probably see the next place you're are racing as the godforsaken country is flat. To your left is a lkeor clogs or cheese.

Determined Irish County Teams Take On Might Of International Teams In An Post Rás
 |
| Damien Shaw, Aquablue |
With the full contingent of fifteen international teams announced in recent weeks, the organisers of the An Post Rás today announced the nineteen Irish domestic teams who will square up against their overseas competitors in this month’s race.
Many of Ireland’s top home-based riders will compete in the 2.2-ranked international event, pitching their strength against those of the international riders. They will aim to show that domestic riders can race competitively and aggressively despite having less experience of racing abroad.
Recent Tour of Ulster winner Mark Dowling will lead a strong Meath DID Electrical team and will seek to build on the form which earned him the stage race title and other strong results throughout the season.

| Brian McCrystal, ASEA Louth |
Eoin Morton, who briefly led the Tour of Ulster race and finished second overall, will spearhead the Dublin UCD squad, while stage winners Damien Shaw and Roger Aiken will head to the An Post Rás with big aspirations wearing the Louth Team Asea jersey.
Team-mate Brian McCrystal has also been in strong form this season and will animate the eight day event.
Cork Aquablue will field another strong line-up, with Kerry Group Rás Mumhan winner Sean McKenna and former An Post-Chain Reaction Sean Kelly rider Ronan McLaughlin two of the five.
Ned Flanagan Memorial winner Robin Kelly has been in good form this year and will be part of the Mayo Coleman Electronics TKE team. Tour of the North stage winner David Watson, currently fourth behind Paidi O’Brien, McKenna and Morton in the Cycling Ireland rider rankings, will represent Down North Graham Powerhouse Sport, while Drumm Cup winner Simon Ryan will be part of the Limerick Mego RT squad.
