He will now be one of the top names competing in the Irish time trial championships
His superb Giro Next Gen form should translate into a very fast performance on what is home soil in Dungannon. It should also see him as one of the big contenders in the Elite and Under-23 road race championships on Sunday.
Last year Healy beat George Peden and Eddie Dunbar by one minute 32 seconds. Peden is set to line out once again, with Bora-hansgrohe professional Ryan Mullen travelling to the race this year and hoping to add to his past victories in the competition. Marcus Christie will also hope to be in the medals.
Rafferty’s brother Adam will be one of those to watch in the junior men’s race, as will Seth Dunwoody. Last Thursday they finished fourth and third-quickest respectively among senior riders in the Ernie Magwood TT series race, both just one second off the junior national 10 mile time trial record of 18 minutes 48 seconds set by Darren Rafferty in July 2021. Senior rider Christie won Thursday’s event.
The paracycling time trial championships will also take place on Thursday, with European C4 TT champion Ronan Grimes likely to ride very strongly. Ditto for Declan Selvin , the reigning champion in the H1-5 handcycle category.
