Multi-talented Keane enjoying new lease of life
Keane, whose earliest successes came with Dolphin Swimming club, shot to prominence as a member of Ireland’s bronze winning team at the European cross-country championships.
But athletics are in the past for now - as he concentrates on a career in cycling and an assault on the prestigious Rás na hEireann. He has caused some sensations in his brief cycling career so far, finishing second on the first stage of this year’s Credit Union Ras Mumhan, including taking the yellow jersey on the Conor Pass stage. Although he lost that lead when he turned up late for the individual time trial.
