Eoin Morton enjoys his trip to Tipperary

Eoin Morton secured his biggest career win yesterday in the Gas Networks Ireland Visit Nenagh Classic in Tipperary.

The UCD-Fitzcycles man had plenty of time to savour the moment and salute the enormous crowd in Nenagh for the finish, as runner-up Conor Hennebry (Aquablue) and Mark Dowling (ASEA-Wheelworx) were some way back on the new champion.

Morton started aggressively, racing clear in a six-man break that included Sean Lacey and Anthony Walsh (both Aquablue), Gary Donaldson (Omagh Wheelers), Cathal Moynihan (Tralee Manor West/iBike) as well as Dutch rider Adrie Lindeman (Nija Trucks - Fila NWVG).
