Lavery takes up Rás option
It was initially expected the 19 year-old Dubliner, currently riding for the LOOK Academy in Belgium, would join the Irish team for next week’s showpiece but it was felt that it might be too close to the Nations Cup race in Canada which takes place four days after the finish of the Rás.
However, he now feels that he is in shape to ride the Rás as well and that it will in fact help his preparations for that race. He believes if it is ridden correctly, the race is an excellent way to bring on top racing condition.
