Kelly hails Martin heroics

Cycling legend Sean Kelly has hailed Dan Martin’s Liege-Bastogne-Liege win in Belgium on Sunday believing the victory could inspire a generation of young Irish talent.

Kelly, who won the race in 1984 and 1989, also said Martin’s win firmly establishes him as one of the best riders in the world.

“It was an absolutely brilliant win for Dan and for Irish cycling,” said the Carrick on Suir native.
