Ed Laverack dedicates first Suir win to team

Ed Laverack claimed a sensational final stage victory to win the Suir Valley 3-Day in stunning fashion.

The JLT Condor/Mavic rider made it two wins in as many days in one of the country’s ‘big three’ stage races after he won the rain-lashed closed-circuit in Clonmel on Sunday night.

It was a great moment for Laverack and his team who rode a textbook race all weekend, even in the absence of their Irish teammate David McCarthy, who was ruled out due to illness.
