Sam Bennett is left to fly the flag, as the younger cyclists like Eddie Dunbar haven't yet found their place after promising junior careers. Irish cycling won't really miss anything with Roche out of it (in terms of results), unless that'd happened five years ago. Martin still had something in the tank this year, so that's a shame. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,590 Posted November 1, 2021 #520 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I remember when Bengtsson was winning in juniors and touted as the next great thing in women's PV. She never met those expectations indeed. Perhaps she knew she's bounced off her ceiling already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
