Robin Seymour at the finish of the 2024 NPS Round 2 after winning the elite men's race
|
The main event of the day the Senior 1 elite men's race, three riders (Robin Seymour and his team mate Daniel Brickenden both from Team WORC and David Montgomery of Spellman-Dublin Port) went clear of the field on the first lap and and had a super battle right up to the last few hundred metres of the course, where the super experienced rider Roblin Seymour at 52 years of age pulled off an excellent win beating Ireland's elite riders at half his age.
Full credit has to be given to the organising club, Epic MTB who did amazing work creating a great course and promoting a brilliant event on the day. Also helped with fantastic sunshine.
