February 2018 Cycling Ireland Female Rider of the Month is Lydia Gurley.
Galway rider stormed onto the track cycling scene in Ireland over the past two years, already picking up medals on the world stage.
In February she was competing in the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Apeldoorn, where a brave move in the Scratch Race saw her almost gain a lap on the field to compete for medals. Her move was reeled in agonisingly close to the line – resulting in a 15th place finish.
Lydia has already climbed onto podiums at major events – winning a silver medal in the Women’s Madison at the European Championships last year, and a bronze medal in the Scratch Race at the Track World Cup in Cali. We are confident you will hear this name a lot more!
