Three Irish riders will feature for An Post Chain Reaction Sean Kelly Team in Sunday’s (15th March) outing at Omloop van het Waasland (1.2) in Belgium.
Jack Wilson, Conor Dunne and Corkman Eoin McCarthy will be part of an eight man team which also includes talented former Orica-GreenEDGE rider Aidis Kruopis, who returned from an elbow injury at last weekend’s Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen (2.1).
Dromore native Sean Downey secured an excellent 12th place finish for the team in last year’s edition of the race and team manager Kurt Bogaert’s is looking for more of the same this time round.
“We were delighted with last year’s race. Sean was unlucky to miss out on a top 10 so a podium finish this weekend is one of our main objectives. Aidis (Kruopis) is also slowly nearing 100% fitness so it will be great to have his experience on Sunday. It’s a very flat race with some cobbled sections and a bunch sprint at the end is quite probable which will suit him.”
