There is a proud tradition of cycling in Carrick-on-Suir, and it’s an honour to be able to carry that tradition on.
The cycling scene and the hard men of cycling from that part of the world are the ones who got me in shape to win the Junior Tour of Ireland in 2008, still one of my proudest moments.
Injuries in my early career weren’t kind to me, and it was a hard road back to winning ways at the 2013 Tour of Britain.
