McKenna believes Scanlon is on course for worlds medal

RIGHT now Ireland would appear to be awash with world championship medals what with Sam Lynch’s rowing gold from Seville on Saturday and Dermott Lennon’s equestrian gold from Jerez on Sunday.

Now cyclist Mark Scanlon could be about to add to the treasure chest over the coming weeks when he lines up for the world championships in Belgium.

That’s the firm opinion of Ciaran McKenna, a member of Irish cycling’s High Performance Committee, as he reflected on the Sligo man’s performance in the Grand Prix Isbergues in France on Sunday.
