Great to see some Irish girls competing with the best in the world on the road, track and CX, this time we have a cyclo crosser representing our girls with Michelle Geoghegan tackling the Superprestige CX league…this is a very top-level competition wich get dominated lately by the Dutch girls…Michelle was pulled out with 2 rounds to go but is improving well, a few more of this sort of high-level racing will bring her on big time, and she could have something to say next January in the Irish Nationals in Armagh, as the edge of that sort of racing experience, could see her going very close..we wish her all the best for the remainder of the season in Europe…(all photos of Martine, including photos used in feature collage)
