Irish cycling stars Nicolas Roche and Dan Martin back home for special event tonight

Irish cyclists Nicolas Roche, Dan Martin, Philip Deignan and Sam Bennett are taking part in a Questions and Answers event at Dunboyne Castle Hotel, Co. Meath this evening.

Four of the country's best cyclists will be at a Q&A event from 7pm this evening. The quartet took time out in Dublin this wet, wet afternoon to drop in on local bike shops, retailers and pose for photos with fans. Photographer Karen Edwards tracked the group as they wound their way up Grafton Street, in for a coffee fix and over to St. Stephen's Green.

The event is being run by Blue Gate Sports and cycling fans will get the opportunity to meet, greet and get snaps with the sports stars before and after the on-stage portion of the show. Cian Lynch will act as MC this evening and will, no doubt, quiz Roche, Martin, Bennett and Deignan on their ambitions, including tilts at Le Tour, for 2015. Tickets are still available for the event and more information can be found at bluegatesports.ie
