Paddy Doran RIP

I think the death of Paddy Doran merits a thread. Sad to hear of the passing of such a huge contributor to Irish cycling. Had the pleasure of attending a couple of club training days which he hosted. Witty, understated but always on point, put the person ahead of the cyclist. May he rest in peace.

A gentleman. RIP.

eeeee

Such a shock. I can't believe he's gone.
He was a real stalwart, and a huge advocate for women's cycling too.
He'll be missed.
R.I.P. Paddy

I didn't always agree with Paddy, but always enjoyed a chat when I met him. RIP.

He was a gentleman, such a sound fella. A great supporter of women's racing, he did a lot of great work with the Women's Commission. Very sad news indeed.
