The result adds to an already hugely successful weekend for RED MILLS Riders. On Friday night, Chef d’Equipe Taylor Vard led the Irish team of Richard Howley, Jessica Burke, Kevin Gallagher and RED MILLS Rider Jenny Rankin, to victory the Longines EEF Nations Cup of Lisbon.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, RED MILLS Rider Conor Swail guided Nadal Hero to victory in a five-star Speed Class at Thunderbird in Canada, while there was also a win for RED MILLS Rider Daniel Coyle at the same venue with Ivory TCS.
