Damien Shaw charged with getting An Post team to deliver in Rás

Damien Shaw has been handed the onerous task of leading the An Post Chain Reaction team into battle for this year’s An Post Rás which gets underway from, Dublin Castle on Sunday week, May 21.

The 2015 national road race champion is enjoying a brilliant season and will go into the race full of confidence and intent on ending his long wait for a stage win.

He’s also been inside the top 10 on General Classification in recent seasons and this year he’ll have the backing of fellow Irishmen Sean McKenna and Matthew Teggart, as well as Polish sprinter Przemyslaw Kasperkiewicz and the experienced Kiwi track rider Regan Gough.
