Mullen dominates opening night of nationals

Ryan Mullen was last night crowned national U23 and elite time trial champion after he beat Eddie Dunbar (NFTO) and Martyn Irvine (Madison Genesis) on the opening night of this year’s championships.

Between now and Sunday morning, when Mullen lines out to defend the combined road race crown he took in Multyfarnham 12 months ago, he holds the elite and U23 road titles and time trial titles; the first man to achieve that feat.

A former TT silver medalist at the European Junior Championships, Mullen took silver in the U23 test at the World Road Championships in Spain last year.
