Next up in our rider profile series featuring our participants in the upcoming Scott Junior Tour in the young man possibly responsible for the trend of strange socks within the junior ranks, Conor ‘N+1’ Coleman.
BIO;
I am from Dungarvan and I started out doing the local kids league and thought it was easy so decided to go racing I learnt quickly it wasn’t easy, I’ve been racing since I was 15 and joined Comeraghcc in 2016. My highlight of racing so far was getting to ride for the Irish youth academy in France. To me the junior tour will be a challenge but sure if it was easy everyone would do it so by the looks of it I better close my eyes and pull like a dog.

CC; The nationals, great race to spectate and is always open for anyone to win.
