Ryan the talk of the track

Cycling Ireland President Denis Toomey believes that an indoor velodrome would lead to more medals on the European and World stage after Kildare woman Caroline Ryan was the latest to medal at a major event over the weekend.

The Garda CC member, and world number two, stormed to a brilliant bronze medal in Saturday’s 3k Individual Pursuit ride-off against Anna Solovey of the Ukraine at the Track World Cup in Mexico, winning by a mere three 10ths of a second.

And her performances over the weekend ensured her place at next February’s World Track Championships in Colombia.
