1990 Junior Tour of Ireland - 'Highs & Lows'

Описание: Here is a video of the Larch Hill team who took part in the 1990 Junior Tour of Ireland. The video is a collection of clips from inside the team, at race starts and finishes. It gives an insight to what it's like in a stage race and shows the high points as well as low points.

This race was over 30 years ago now and it took part in a time when cycling sport in Ireland was at a high point with Sean Kelly and Stephen Roche doing extremely well at world level. Back then, the Junior Tour race had in excess of 200 entries.

Another reason for posting this is, there are a lot of people in this video, who are no longer with us, many of whom were great workers for the sport of cycling. To their family and friends, we remember them and say thanks.
