Team Worc rider Robin Seymour won round two of the series at Moneyscalp Wood in the shadows of the Mourne Mountains, this giving Seymour the Elite Mens leaders jersey and more importantly put him in pole position for Olympic selection. IMBRC’s Niall Davis is the only rider who could steal the Olympic place from Seymour, though it would take a DNF for Seymour and a win for Davis for this to happen. A broken shoulder put the other Olympic hopeful, Conor McConvey (McConvey Cycles) out of the opening round at Kilruddery, however the young Belfast rider entered the fray at round two with a superb ride to third place.

The battle for the Elite women is apparently between Mel Spath, Beth McCluskey, Jess Laird (North Down), Ann Duffy (Newry Wheelers) and Ciara McManus (U/A). Best of luck to everyone taking part! I may even take a trip down to have a look…… ;-)
