National Mountain Bike Championships 2002 – 21st June 2002
Seymour Unstoppable
Robin Seymour (Mapei) once again rode to victory to continue his
winning streak of Irish mountain bike titles in the Kilruddery Estate in
Co.Wicklow today. Seymour had a steady start preferring to stay in
second place on the opening lap behind Phil Cooper (Blueskycycles.com)
until they started the second lap, when Seymour took the lead, a lead
that he was to hold until the finish of the six-lap race. Glen Kinning
(XMTB) who will be representing Northern Ireland next week at the
commonwealth games chased hard to close in on the second place Cooper
but faded on the fifth lap when fellow XMTB rider Simon Loughlin
capitalised on Kinning’s earlier efforts to take third place in his
best ride of the season so far. Don Travers (Banbridge CC) and Aidan
McDonald (Apollo CT) also managed to overtake Kinning on the final lap
to take 4th and 5th places respectively with Kinning coming in a tired
6th place. Irish rider Tarja Owens who is based in Switzerland and is
riding for the UCI team won the women’s race once again but said she
was “disappointed with the bad turnout by women riders and hopes that
over the next year more women get involved in this great sport”
