Ryan Mullen seals national double at Irish elite men’s road race championships

Ryan Mullen claimed a wonderful solo victory in the Irish elite men’s road race championships in Co. Wexford, crossing the line ahead of a gallant runner-up Christopher McGlinchey.

Mullen adds the road crown to the time-trial title he won on Thursday. He was made to fight the whole way.

“This one means a lot more than the time trial title,” he said. “I fought so hard for it. The time trial is a pride thing. I expect to win. The road race, nationals are not your typical race so I’m just really happy I’ve won it.
