Ear to the ground featuring Stamullen rider

jimbobaloobob

Theres an episode of ear to the ground advertised for tuesday that features Bill Moore (working from memory here could be wrong on the name) he won the final stage of the Ras few years ago. I think 10 years since he won a stage previous

Hes farming now out in New Zealand, just thought id mention it here case anyone was interested. Also got me thinking though that cycling in ireland must have lost many riders to emigration over the last few years as have other sports like GAA.

Is there much of a spread of riders around the globe that would have raced here going back 3-5 years?

Nice touch - they showed him on his bike wearing his Stamullen kit at the very end of the show ( the only bit I saw ).
