Time Trial specialist Burns was dropped on the climb at Carnlough, leaving Smyth and Donegan to fight it out for the final kilometres. Her hopes were helped when last year’s winner Eve McCrystal was forced out of the race through injury, that loss leaving the Scott-Orwell Wheelers rider with only rival: Smyth.Įileen Burns instigated an early attack inside the first 20km, and brought Smyth and Donegan away with her, the trio extending their gap beyond 8 minutes towards the line. In the Womens race local rider Katharine Smyth pipped Aine Donegan on the line in a nail-biting finish, but it was not enough to topple the overall leader.ĭonegan, a decorated triathlete riding her first season of road racing, lined up at the Blair International Red Hand Trophy needing third or better to guarantee taking the National Road Series title. In the Red Hand Trophy itself, Adam Ward finished second, with Maybin in third. Hennebry was presented with the Men’s Cycling Ireland National Road Series trophy in Ballymena, Lucan Road Cycling Club’s Dermot Trulock taking second overall, and Seán Moore (Team Gerard DHL) the third spot. Up and down all day, so I was delighted to win. He added: “It was one of the hardest races of the year.

It split on the last climb and I rode away there with Adam.” How Hennebry got in there, he explained: “An attack went away, I followed it, and then we ride hard to get across to the break. On a 103km day through, The Glens of Antrim courtesy of Ballymena Road Club, the Men’s National Road Series field was splintered to pieces by climbs, head winds, and fast-paced racing.Ī very select group approached the finish at the front, including Hennebry, his team mate Ronan McLaughlin, Powerhouse Sport’s Adam Ward, Conor McCann from Inspired Cycling, Caldwell Cycles’s Darnell Moore and Ballymena’s own Richard Maybin. The way it fell, I ended up winning the race.” “I either had to mark them or win the race. “I didn’t really know how it was going to go because there was a good few within striking distance.” He said. No win was sweeter than Saturday though, as Viner Caremark Pactimo’s rider sprinted to beat Adam Ward on the line in Broughshane. Hennebry justified his return to the domestic scene when taking International stage race Rás Mumhan, and has continued to shine on the National Road Series circuit.
