Drogheda Wheelers

With stage 7 of this year’s Rás finishing in Drogheda, we’ve even more reason to get excited about the UCI ranked event, with news that our very own Daragh Campbell will be among those riders representing the Team Novo Nordisk development squad. Team Novo Nordisk is a global all-diabetes sports team of cyclists, triathletes and runners, spearheaded by the world’s first all-diabetes professional cycling team.

Daragh joined the US based outfit shortly after completing his Leaving Cert in 2014. He made an instant impact, notching up four podium finishes : two wins at the Pisgah Omnium and two third places at the Georgia Games Road Race and Criterium.

The Team Novo Nordisk development team is excited to race at An Post Rás. Our goals are to land a podium in a sprint stage and to place top ten in two or more stages. We will be looking for results from both Quentin and Mehdi in sprints and also to raise awareness with our local Irish rider, Daragh.

The Dunsany GP will go ahead on Sat May 9th. After what we consider two weekends of successful promotions, in Stamullen and Drogheda, its probably a good time to put on races in this area as there were no issues with the law or authorities over the past two weekends.

To keep it that way we would appreciate all the help we can get for this one. Thanks in advance.

Sign on will be in Dunsany GAA grounds from 9.00am.
Route will be the usual green sheds circuit with the last lap coming off circuit to finish at the church in Dunsany.
10.3Oam A3/Jun race 4 x laps of 17k Total 68km
10.33am A4 race 3 x laps of 17k Total 51km.
Please note its a 10.30 start time to have the roads as quiet as possible.
Get in touch if you can help.

Midweek race training sessions will take place each Wednesday evening for the remainder of the season. The first session will be on May 6th at 7.00 pm. The meeting point will be at Beamore Cross.

Well done to George who added to his points tally by taking 8th place in the A4 race.
