    Hearty congrats to Dan Martin on his win in Poland. no mean feat. Only 23 so looks like he has a bright career ahead. Surprised not to see a post here already.

    Anyone see the race? Don't have a TV and slow broadband at home.

    In fairness, he won the thing two days ago and it has been widely reported in the papers, on TV, Radio etc. There has to be a limit on spoilers!

    Good article on Velonews about him

    “I just hope it boosts the sport of cycling in Ireland. The more we can achieve, the more popular it’s going to get,” says Martin. “We’ve all got big results in big races and proved it’s possible to win races, and possible to do it clean as well. Hopefully we can inspire some kids to try and make it as a professional bike rider and maybe get the Tour of Ireland back. I think there’s definitely a market in Ireland for a big bike race.”
