Power surges to title in style

CIARAN POWER (Pezula Racing) put his hallmark on a spectacular weekend when he won the final stage of the Pauline Sugrue Auctioneers Rás Mumhan, to copperfasten his overall victory in blustery conditions at Killorglin yesterday.

And there was good news for the two-time Olympian immediately afterwards when Martin O’Loughlin, who has been added to the selection team for the Olympic Games, promised to have the criteria for selection published inside the next 10 days.

“I have just been appointed to the committee to select the team for the Olympics along with the team manager, Frank Campbell, and Ciaran McKenna,” said O’Loughlin who managed the Irish cycling team for the Athens Olympics. “I can state categorically that the criteria for selection will be published within the next 10 days.”
