After a strong campaign which netted the Irish team one stage win and well over a dozen top ten placings, Tommy Evans capped off the squad’s fine performance in the world ranked Herald Sun Tour, by taking third place on the final stage.
Evans finished the 44 km Geelong criterium in the same time as Australian winner Jamie Drew, with Ciaran Power finishing safely in the main pack to end the race an impressive 9th overall.
The best-ever Irish display has earned a clutch of valuable world ranking points for the team, who can also boast a one-two-three (Aidan Duff, David McCann and Evans) in the most aggressive rider category. Evans was also 4th in the sprints competition, while Power finished second in the criterium classification.
