Seymour goes for number fifteen

By Shane Stokes

Robin Seymour has the chance to take a remarkable fifteenth successive win in the Irish cross country championships in Kilruddery this Sunday. The Team WORC rider is continuing his preparations for the Olympic Games in Beijing and hopes to continue his winning streak in the Irish event.

Last year he beat Niall Davis (IMBRC) and Irish cyclocross champion Roger Aiken (Banbridge CC) in the race.

Tarja Owens (Team WORC) is expected to return from her new base in Italy and chase what would be her thirteenth title. She had taken twelve in a row but was beaten into second place last year by Beth McCluskey (Epic).
