Irish 1-2 at Women's Paracycling Road World Cup

There was an Irish 1-2 at the Paracycling Road World Cup in Québec, Canada, with Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal winning gold ahead of Josephine Healion and Linda Kelly in the Women's B time trial.

The success meant Dunlevy and McCrystal secured the overall win at the UCI Para-Cycling World Cup.

European champion Ronan Grimes won silver in the time trial and road race in the MC4 category. Damien Vereker and Dillon Corkery finished fifth in the men's tandem time trial and were unfortunate to suffer a DNF in the road race due to a broking timing chain.

Gary O’Reilly (MH5) and Declan Slevin (MH3) were also in action over the weekend with O’Reilly finishing in seventh and fifth in the time trial and road race respectively while Slevin finished in 14th place in both events.

Focus now turns to the Para-Cycling World Championships which takes place from this Thursday to Sunday in Baie-Comeau, Canada.
