K Capital Cup # 2, Moneyscalp, Co. Down – Sun 22nd March 2008

Back to Ireland with a shock. My first elite race in years and I was brutal! A v tech course with no rest made the going tough. Together with a crappy start/finish area things were not looking good (why do people continue to do this for UCI races).
I raced the first 3 laps ok, I was in 9th place with 2 Belgian guys. But then I started to feel it, and I blew up after only 1.5 hours. I got into a slow pace to get lapped and hold the position.
Robin won from UK rider Aido Lansley, with conor in 3rd and Niall in 4th, all within 1 min of each other. This almost guarantees Robin the Olympic place.
A poor ride, an ok result and 2 UCI points. Roll on K Cap # 3!



Watch the drop!

Robin takes the win
