Dillon Corkery’s Rás Tailteann diary: One more chance for Ireland to grab yellow
There should be fireworks from the off in Maynooth
Dillon Corkery describes the bike he's riding during this year's Rás
On most race stages, riders only leave their hotel room for breakfast, dinner or a massage in another room. Rest is a priority and the only socialising you do is in the bunch during the day.
On the Rás, however, it’s not uncommon to see fellas sitting around in the team hotel or race headquarters in the evenings having a chat in the lobby or even discussing the race over a pint in the bar. Last night there was an ABBA tribute band playing in the Talbot Hotel.
