Cian O'Connor took first blood for Ireland at this morning's speed class in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the Irish team will do battle in the Nations' Cup tomorrow.
Crossing the line almost three seconds ahead of Dutch runner-up Maikel van der Vleuten, O'Connor was riding the eight-year-old Irish-bred mare Connahy Clover.
