Huzzah!

International sporting successes are rare for Ireland, so let's make the most of it. Congratulations to Philip Deignan (I'm sure he reads this blog) for his win in stage 18 in the Vuelta a España. It's the first Grand Tour stage win for an Irish cyclist since Stephen Roche in the 1992 Tour de France, apparently, and it takes Deignan up to ninth in the general classification. With only three stages to go!
