Spot on.
Youāre forgetting former Raven and now Colts DE, Arthur Jones. Serious breeding in that family.
Iāll add that to things I learned todayā¦
Well after watching the JP effect on limerick Iād rather he didnāt. We would just infight with better weapons.
That black people can get tan lines.
That there was 5 riders on the Irish Worldās team in 1987. I always thought it was just Roche, Kelly, Kimmage and Earley. There was another lad from Tipperary called Alan McCormack who was riding in the US. He still lives there now. I canāt remember him even being mentioned in Rough Ride but Iāll dig it out later on to check.
Indeed, in Rough Ride the chapter is entitled āThe Fab Fourā. During the race description Kimmage refers to āthe other threeā and when Martin Earley is chasing down a break he is āone quarter of the Irish teamā.
McCormack mustāve been a prize prick. I read he did 19 laps though, so he mustāve contributed in some way. Odd.

He did all his racing in the US. He hardly knew the other 4.
The largest of retailer of toys in the world is McDonalds.
A bit of googling tells me his brother roomed with Kimmage in the early 80s and he won the Shay Elliot Memorial a couple of times so he must surely have been on nodding terms with the other 4. Youād think heād have at least thought, ok, weāve the world number 1 and the Giro/Tour winner here and weāre going for victory, I should get to know them a little and be a part of itā¦
Iāve a mate at home who raced in that age group. Must ask him. Irish cycling was notorious for splits in the 70ās.
Do that. Iād love to know what his deal was.
Paul McCormack, his brother, raced with the Irish Olympic team of 1984 (featuring Kimmage and Earley) in the Coors Classic that year according to this piece. Assuming Alan raced that year too, I think it just makes the 1987 snub all the more odd. I wonder did he join in the celebrations, get a share of the prize moneyā¦

People suspected of crime can now have their solicitor present during a Garda interview.
I hope he gets you off the hook mate.
Do you know who the biggest tyre manufacturer is?
No. I was talking to an FMCG expert, not an automotive expert. But go on,
Lego
Yeah but thatās just cause they make loads of little tyres.
Is that why?
