David O'Loughlin of Ireland and Pezula Racing came 6th in the 4000m Individual Men's Pursuit at the World Track Championships in Manchester yesterday, beating some incredible riders like Luke Roberts, Taylor Phinney, and Volodymyr Dyudya. He came in with a time of 4.20.91, 4.4 seconds faster than the national record he set in Beijing in December. G'wan Davo! It's a great result for David, for Ireland, and for Pezula. I really hope we get to see David compete at the Olympics, and I'm sure his 6th place finish will help get him there. Big thanks to Guy Swarbrick for the great photo of David.

Merry St. Patty's Day!
I hate you. I'm sending Sean and Josh to LA to give you a shoeing.
Cool! Have been watching the Madison races today on BBC - very exciting stuff. Cycling has to, has to, has to be given more support in Ireland.
Hey bro! Madison is so much fun to watch.
As for cycling getting more support in Ireland, dream on. If it didn't get any support when we had Roche (only the second ever cyclist to win the triple crown of Tour, Giro and World Championship in the same year) and Kelly (arguable the finest Classics cyclist of his generation) out there, it's certainly not going to get any now. Sad, but true.
