Mark Downey determined to bring ‘A’ game to World Track Championships

Mark Downey won’t be 21 until July but he is already one of the most decorated Irish track riders of all time.

The Banbridge youngster, son of ex-Olympian Seamus, is Ireland’s main medal hope at the UCI World Track Championships currently taking place in Hong Kong.

He takes to the boards tomorrow for the first of his two events, the 40km points race followed by the Madison (50km) on Sunday alongside Felix English.
