Safety first for Doc McGrane

Fractured femurs, punctured lungs, broken jaws, dislocated fingers and smashed collar bones are just some of the injuries Dr Conor McGrane has had to deal with during his six years in the role and you’d have to wonder what the lure of such a high-pressure job is.

“I just love it,” the Dubliner reasons.

“The Rás is an incredible race and it’s great to be part of. I’m part of a great team and there’s a great group of volunteers who are really dedicated to cycling and love the sport and just put their hearts and souls into it. It’s a pleasure working with them,” he continues.
