Irish Olympians

The Olympics start today, and there are four Irish cyclists participating. Nicholas Roche (Crédit Agricole) and Philip Deignan (AG2R) are in the Men's Road Race tomorrow, Robin Seymour (Team WORC) is competing in the Men's Mountain Biking, and, of course, David O'Loughlin (Pezula Racing) is competing in the Men's 4000M Individual Pursuit on the track, with his first round in the Olympic velodrome next Saturday, Aug. 16th. David is in with a real shout at a medal, having improved his time from that which earned him 6th place at the Track Cycling World Championships in Manchester a few months ago. An Irish track cycling Olympic medal? That would be feckin' deadly. C'mon Davo!!
