JB Murphy racing in Italy

JB Murphy will be racing in the World Junior Track Championships in Montichairi in the north of Italy near Lake Garda this week, writes Liam Walker of Kilcullen Cycling Club.

On Thursday JB will ride the Scratch race and on Friday he will compete in the Points race. There are qualifying races in the afternoon before the final later in the evening. This young rider will be one of the favourites following on from his Silver medal in the European Championships in Portugal in July.

Myself and a group from the cycling club along with JB's parents will be there to cheer on this young man from Athgarvan.
