Matt Teggart dreaming in yellow for An Post Rás

Ireland’s Matt Teggart can dare to dream as he leads the An Post Rás for the first time in his life with four stages to go.

The 21-year-old Banbridge rider, son of ex-international and well-known Cycling Ireland figure Neill, took the jersey from overnight leader Dennis Bakker (Delta Cycling) after a spectacular stage from Bundoran to Buncrana.

Riding as a professional for the An Post Chain Reaction team is an honour in itself for Teggart and he said winning Tuesday’s humdinger into Bundoran was the summit of his ambitions for the week.
