Eddie Dunbar pleased with World’s Time Trial Performance

Eddie Dunbar finished 26^th in the individual Time Trial at the UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire this afternoon. His time of 1:09:52 was 4 minutes 46 seconds behind the winner, Rohan Dennis of Australia. Fellow Irishman, Ryan Mullan finished in a time of 1:10:21, good enough for 32^nd position.

Commenting after the race Eddie said:

“Overall the performance was good. It was a consistent effort and I was happy with it.”

"The crowds were incredible today. A lot of Irish fans out there and in the middle of Yorkshire where you wouldn't expect them."

“I’m looking forward to the road race on Sunday. We have a really strong team, six really motivated guys and I think we can do something on Sunday and dream about the rainbows (jersey) for someone.”

Eddie and Ryan will be joined by Sam Bennett, Dan Martin, Conor Dunne and Rory Townsend on the Irish Team for the Elite Men’s Road Race. The race will start at 8:40am on Sunday and take riders 285 kilometres from Leeds to Harrogate, finishing with a 7-lap circuit.
