This week Breifne takes a look at some of the recent happenings and news in the world of Irish cycling, including the news that IG Sigma Sport will disband ahead of the 2014 season. The Irish members of the continental team had already announced their moves to other teams. Peter Hawkins will ride for UK based Madison Genesis while Ryan Mullen will join An Post-Chain Reaction. Sean Kelly will be signing copies of his book at Chain Reactions, Belfast on Friday with a 30km ride out on Sunday morning. Martyn Irvine's injuries are not as bad as first feared after his crash during the week in Ghent which should see him back in the saddle much sooner than expected.
