Matthew Teggart blows race for yellow wide open

21-year old rising star Matt Teggart wrote his name into Rás history with a brilliant win that saw him jump up to third overall and also take custody of the best young rider jersey while former Rás Mumhan winner Dennis Bakker from the Netherlands slipped into the race lead.

Teggart was overcome with emotion at the finish in Bundoran as the magnitude of his achievement hit him and it was an especially sweet victory for the team who announced last week they are without a sponsor for 2018.
