Glasgow race expected to be tough 280k slog for the participants
Bennett suggests that if the weather remains dry, there is a chance that a select group, or reduced peloton, could sprint it out for the win. He has his doubts, though, expecting instead that things could be far more fragmented.
Still, even if that complicates things for the Carrick-on-Suir rider, he sees advantages for another in the green jersey. Bennett, Healy, a breakaway specialist who won a stage in this year’s Giro d’Italia, Ryan Mullen, Rory Townsend, Cormac McGeough and Dillon Corkery are Ireland’s selection for the Elite men’s road race. It started at 9.30am and was expected to run until approximately 4pm, although those timings have been put back due to a protest.
Ireland had a number of competitors in action on Saturday. Oisín O’Callaghan finished a fine 12th in the elite men’s downhill world championship final, with Chris Cumming 42nd, Conor Bate 49th and Niall Clerkin 51st.
