Historic Thirteenth for Irish MTB Champion

By Shane Stokes

Multiple Irish champion Robin Seymour took a thirteenth consecutive national mountain title in Kilruddery estate last Sunday, further extending what is a remarkable winning streak. The Endura Voodoo Singletrack/WORC rider beat closest competitor Niall Davis (IMBRC) by two and a half minutes, with James McCluskey taking bronze in the cross-country race.

In the women’s race, Tarja Owens added another gold to her own glittering collection, the WORC rider surviving a fall to finish 45 seconds ahead of second-placed Beth McCluskey. Owens has now taken the last 12 women’s championships.
