Slipped chain in sight of finish costs Eoghan Clifford dear

The cyclists had already bagged four medals between them (two golds, one silver and one bronze) but Galway-based university lecturer Eoghan Clifford, who’d already won C3 Time Trial gold, was left to curse a slipped chain yesterday.
Racing in the combined C1-3 Road Race, he was part of a six-man break that got away in the first lap and included Japan’s reigning world champion Masaki Fujita, Spain’s world bronze medallist Eduardo Santas Asensio of Spain and Italy’s Fabio Anobile.
