Tony Campbell: "Flatter Rás route a different challenge"

The race director of the An Post Rás has warned those with designs on riding this year’s race that it is anything but easy — despite it being a much flatter route than previous years.

Tony Campbell was speaking at the route announcement of the country’s only UCI-ranked race (May 17 to May 25) in Dublin yesterday.

“It is very rolling terrain, it’s very exposed and there’s little shelter on a lot of stages,” said Campbell.
