Disappointed Irvine wants to fight on

Newtownards cyclist Martyn Irvine finished 13th overall after the sixth and final event of the multi-discipline omnium cycling event in the London velodrome last night.

Irvine said he was disappointed with where he finished but stressed that he gave all he had.

“I’m still gutted, it just opened my eyes and it just wasn’t meant to be,” he said. “I was standing trying to look on whatever bright side there was today and it still didn’t go my way. The engine’s just not there.
