Gareth O\u2019Neill (Athlete\u00a0Nutrition\u00a0Coach\u00a0HD) has won the main event at the Bob Crilly Classic, taking the victory ahead of a high quality group at the end of 102km of racing in Glengormley,\u00a0Co\u00a0Antrim, today.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neill (29) adds his win to several other victories already this season, though he has also scored a frustrating number of 2nd places, including in major events such as the Shay Elliott Classic.<\/p>\n
However, despite going up against very strong riders in the final today, including several riding for UCI Continental teams this season, O\u2019Neill overwhelmed them in the closing stages for the victory.<\/p>\n
He topped the podium in the main event from Liam\u00a0Crowley (Team\u00a0Vorarlberg) and Killian O\u2019Brien (Petrolike), who were 2nd and 3rd respectively, in the Phoenix Cycling Club promotion.<\/p>\n
A special mention goes to Toby Sweetman, the VC Glendale rider who lost his father, Craig Sweetman, in recent weeks. He took a fine 4th place today and showed the kind of form that netted him a stage victory at the Junior Tour of Ireland in July.<\/p>\n
More to come.<\/p>\n
