Winning on the roads you train on….U23 Banbridge CC star Paul-Antoine Hagan done just that!!! Race 1…A3-Juniors
We knew that Paul-Antoine has a deadly sprint but today he showed us his climbing attributes with a devastating attack that left his break companions powerless…he powered up the cruel finishing hill and none could follow to ask him questions…simply too strong today and very pleased for his dad who is always there for him at the races.
