Max Fitzgerald is known for his sprinting abilities and now the Irish track and road international has put in an incredible medal-winning ride at the European Track Championships in Portugal.
The teenager, who rides with Dutch road team JEGG-SKIL-DJR, has taken his silver medal in the junior men’s scratch race on the opening day of competition for the Irish team at the junior and U23 Europeans.
His medal – which will hopefully be followed by more silverware by this Irish team in coming days – extends the Irish junior-U23 medal-winning run to three years at the Europeans.
Lara Gillespie won gold in both the U23 points race and the omnium at the 2023 Europeans while Lucy Bénézet Minns claimed gold in the junior points race last year.
More to come.
