Davy O’Loughlin can roll back the years at the Rás Mumhan

The Kerry Group Rás Mumhan rolls out of Killorglin at 3pm this afternoon and amongst the star-studded start-list is a man making a daring comeback after four years in the racing wilderness.

Mayo man Davy O’Loughlin hasn’t featured in a big race since the 2011 An Post Rás but he has no qualms about jumping back in at the deep end.

O’Loughlin is no ordinary rider – his physiology is the stuff most in the 200-rider field dream of - but the three-time national road champion and ex-Olympian stresses he’s under no pressure to deliver any results this week.
