“The last time I had it, I was a U23, and now to finally wear it in the WorldTour means a lot. Hopefully, I can do it justice.” - Ben Healy We can’t wait see see him back in the Irish Champs Jersey. 💚🤍🧡 efprocycling.com/racing/ben-hea…
"It’s going to be super awesome to wear this jersey this year. Hopefully, I can do it justice" - new Irish champion Ben Healy

Ben Healy won Irish championships in style. When the group entered final circuit with 100 km to go, Healy attacked mercilessly on the lone climb in every lap, quickly reducing size of the group, until he went clear with four laps to go. EF Education-EasyPost rider crossed the line with over four minutes of advantage and gave his point of view in team's press release.
"It’s going to be super awesome to wear this jersey this year," Healy said after the podium ceremony. "The last time I had it, I was a U23, and now to finally wear it in the WorldTour means a lot. Hopefully, I can do it justice."
From the start Healy was determined to ride his own race. "For me, it was a matter of attacking aggressively. They were not really coordinating in the group well and in the end they let me go. I just paced my effort to the finish and it was enough in the end. Now, I’m here with the jersey and I can be happy with that!"

- I'm loving the level of competition and the compositions of teams in 2025. Sure Pogi had an historic 2024. Slate is clean in 2025. And lots of great athletes--MvdP, Vingo, Primoz, Remco, Marc Hircshi, Pidcock, Carlos Rodriquez--and strong teams want to win. I think Pogi will have another great season in 2025. But I think we will talk about others having great seasons too. Who? I don't know. I'll watch the classics and tours and will root for spirited competition.pidginbil24-12-2024
- Sorry but 50€ a day for an international hotel was already a joke 6 years ago. Combined with the fact a lot of them are international chains, this is just capitalism as the West has taught. I think the business term used now is « dynamic pricing « and it happens everywhere. Maybe some will now reflect on how 3rd world delegations are discriminated by prices when they have always had to travel to meetings, hence distorting results and silverware. We will also still have to see how things work out visa-wise, how many participants will be refused as in Glasgow and on what basis? As regards Pog, the coach had better put in place a strategy to avoid his boycotting for personal political reasons, that’s at least as big a problem as logistics.Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- No but they spent a fortune on a cookie to predict the unpredictable. So much for tech and data and experts. Always useful in the service of opaque agendas.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Pog doesn’t do xc, might never try and has admitted he’d have no chance against MVDP in this. Shame really because I’m sure quite a few fans would enjoy watching him try and it would complicate the discussion of who is more complete which almost completely ignores off-road talent. Anyway, merr Xmas to all, keep next season in mind as you let go at the table the next days ;-)Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- i don’t know about it being a “nightmare” for mathieu, but he did lose. flanders is a similar nightmare i suppose for almost anyone who gets dropped on the paterberg at the end. very hard to chase back.OCexile24-12-2024
- yeah, i’m not sure you can say that van der poel was so dominant in the spring “because van aert wasn’t there.” who knows how wout would have farted against mathieu in those races, because HE WASN’T THERE. wout has never beaten mvdp in any cobbled monument, but maybe he would have IF HE’D BEEN THERE. maybe, just like mads, et al, he’d have gotten smoked. we’ll never know, BECAUSE…OCexile24-12-2024
- You are dreaming. MvdP has won Flanders 3 times and come second twice, once against the Pog in a very close race. He has convincingly beaten the Pog directly in MSR twice as well.Velovibes24-12-2024
- USA Cycling is just such a good institution! ...And they wonder why I don't do their races anymore!acem8224-12-2024
