Teen star Mullen out on his own

One of the country’s most exciting prospects, Ryan Mullen, took the biggest road race victory of his young career when he soloed to a stunning win at the National Championships at Multyfarnham, Co. Westmeath yesterday.

The An Post-Chainreaction man is more known for his exploits on the track and has already medalled at the World and European Championships but he has now added a very significant road race win to his name.

Mullen was 7th in the U23 time trial at the World Road Championships in Florence last September, a fantastic ride considering it was his first season out of the junior ranks.
