Fantastic - well done to both, but I'm particularly looking forward to a report from our very own Paralympic Cyclist

Well I will be asking the CEO to get them all together in a room and take a family photo wearing all their jerseys. We could do this at the Champions dinner which is in Dublin this year!

Hi all! It's been a while. Been off preparing for this day... and it has been worth the wait!

Yesterday was a near perfect day for me - and I am pleased as can be to have achieved my season goal of winning the World's!

It helps to be rooming with Mark as his good luck seems to rub off on me!

Rest day today, but hoping to do something special tomoro in the Road Race. I'll be back soon enough to let you know how it went!

Thanks,
Colin

Not another World Champion, as he already is one, but another Gold Medal for Mark Rohan in today's road race - another great result

Well done to Mark - becoming double World Champion today.

I raced after him in the late afternoon, but could only manage 6th place. In a crash-filled race, I managed to stay out of trouble and up with the leading group, but made a few tactical errors and ended up falling off the pace in an exposed section of the course and found myself isolated.

I dropped back to the next group of riders and took the sprint of our small group - securing a few extra qualification points for London.

Last up tomorrow will be Cathal Miller in the C5 road race and the 2 sets of Male and Female tandems in their road races.

A good World's overall for me and looking forward to a hard winter of training on the track and preparing for the Track Worlds in February now.

And if anyone happens to know of a bike or equipment sponsor looking to take on a World Champion, please drop me a PM.

From broadsheet.com

Ireland’s most successful World Championship cycling team, bottom pic from left: Mark Rohan, Catherine Walsh and Fran Meehan this afternoon home from the UCI ParaCycling Road World Championships in Roskilde, Denmark. The Irish Paracycling Team won three golds and a bronze and secured qualification points for next year’s Paralympic Games.
