Anthony Walsh on Sunday completed the British Premier Calendar race the "Cicli Classic". The 170km race is one of the biggest on the cycling calendar and UCD were represented admirably which should give great confidence to the whole team heading into the UCI 2.2 FBD "RAS".
Anto returned Monday night and as can be seen in the picture above the roads were far from normal racing conditions with some incredibly steep hills thrown in for good measure.
Back on these shores Gus, Fiachra and Ciaran rode at the front of the Coombes Connor race in Drogheda over a flat 112km circuit. The three lads were more focused on a hard workout than getting in the break and they kept the bunch together till after the halfway point when a crash split the group. Fiachra was stuck behind it but got back in to complete the race. Gus performed incredibly and will be one of UCDs stars in the coming races. Especially with the Corkman coming up this weekend.
6 UCD riders will take the start line for what will be their best attempt yet at a stage race. Follow @lovecycling @anthony_walsh and @ucd_cycling for race updates on TWITTER.
Good luck to all involved and lets hope for some good results in the coming weeks.
