Coyle takes early lead as Ulster Region TRI Summer Tour commences.

The well-known course design team of Ray Buchanan and Rafael Suarez provided excellent courses once again.  As the first leg of the 18 leg tour the Suarez family were the perfect hosts to riders from all over the region and a few welcome visitors from further afield. 

 

Continuing their recent successes in the Connelly/ Red Mills Spring Tour Derry rider Jordan Coyle took the honours in the 1.35m Grand Prix on board Jim Maneely’s Bay Gelding ‘Amigo VH Winkinshof Z’, stopping the clock at 36.40 Coyle held the lead with his closest rival Fermanagh’s James Hogg with his fathers ‘Interpreter’ remaining over 1 second behind.
