Rory Townsend crossed the line first in the men's elite road race at the National Championship in Meath to claim the title for the second time.

The 29-year-old, who previously triumphed in 2022, edged out Jamie Meehan in second place and Patrick Casey in third.

Townsend commented after his win: "It sounds crazy but this just means so much, it's the biggest thing for me, it means everything.

"A National Championship is something you always want to win as a kid, and it makes you feel like a kid when you come back here.

"It’s the only race I come to with my family where they’re my support crew, and they have to put up with me the morning of the race, so it’s a big relief to pull it off."
