A County Tyrone teenager is set to follow in his older brother's slipstream when he competes in France next month. Adam Rafferty is preparing to compete at the Tour du Valromey which is held over five days from July 13-17.
The 16-year-old will make his race debut in France with the Team 31 Jolly Cycles outfit. It will see Adam take on five mountainous stages covering approximately 500km.
Adam's brother Darren (18) took part in the event last year and currently rides for Hagens Berman in the Pro Continental series. Now it's the turn of the younger sibling to take on mountainous climbs including the Saint Germain Les Paroisses and Col de la Rochette.
