Conor Dunne gagne en costaud la première étape de la "An post Ras"

185 coureurs ont pris départ de la première étape de la An Post Ras ce midi. C’est le jeune Conor Dunne qui remporte l’étape (entre Dunboyne et Longford). Déjà champion d’Irlande Espoir du Contre la montre, Conor Dune est parti avec 18 autres coureurs dès la première difficulté de la journée. On retrouve dans ce groupe Sean Downey (An Post), Aaron Buggle (Rapha), qui venait de realiser une echappée seul contre un peloton lancé à pleine vitesse et Connor McConvey (Synergy Baku).

Le rythme de la course est très rapide, les premiers 90 km sont couverts en 2h mais le jeune coureur Dunne réussit à fausser compagnie à ce groupe dans les vingt dernier kilomètres. Il embarque avec lui le coureur pro Michael Northey (Node4-Giordana). A 5 km de la ligne, ils n’ont que 50 sec d’avance. Malgré les tentatives de jonction de Sam Bennett et Jasper De Buyst, ils vont réussir à conserver cette avance. C’est Conor Dunne qui règle le sprint devant Michael Northey.Par la même occasion, il prend le maillot de leader.
