Roscommon cyclist Daire Feeley secured his third win of the season recently.
The former Rás Tailteann winner collected another victory at the Lucan Grand Prix in Meath.
He and two others who pulled clear from the breakaway in the final were given a late scare in the last 500m Though they numbered three, suddenly the group became six as three chasers got back to them. And once the catch was made, having seemed very unlikely, Jason Kenny (UCD CC) let rip with a haymaker early sprint in the Lucan CRC promotion.
In the end, Feeley managed to come through the chaos, and overcame the rapid late change in race scenario, to win again after eight riders broke clear with over 80km remaining.
The Burren CC cyclist has already claimed the Mick Lally Memorial and the Sliabh Luachra Clasaici this year as he continues to ramp up his preparations for this summer’s key races.
Feeley also finished second at the Galway Classic recently.
