Athlete reunited with €10,000 bike in nick of time for race after Ryanair loses it at Dublin Airport

An athlete from Scotland due to compete in a gruelling Ironman Triathlon event in France has opened up about his experience with Ryanair, who lost his €10,000 bike in both Dublin and the UK prior to the race.

Tom Kennedy was en route from Edinburgh to Nantes in France in the hopes of competing over the weekend, however, the engineer was left gutted after claiming the low-cost airline told him his specialist equipment, including his bike, wetsuit and helmet, were not loaded onto the flight.

To make matters worse for the 31-year-old Team GB athlete from Stirling, he would also experience the same issue at Dublin Airport two days later, the Daily Record reports.
