Another boost for O’Loughlin

DAVID O’LOUGHLIN gave his form another boost in advance of the FBD Milk Rás when he won the coveted Murphy & Gunn Shay Elliott race in Bray on Sunday.

Olympic Team Manager, Martin O’Loughlin, has named O’Loughlin on the Thornton Recycling Team Ireland for the Rás alongside Tommy Evans, Denis Lynch from Cork, David McCann, who was fourth on Sunday and Eugene Moriarty from Listowel who was sixth.

With the two places in the Olympic road race up for grabs the FBD Milk Rás, which gets under way on May 23, takes on an added dimension for the Irish riders this year.
