Conor Dunne

Conor Dunne (born 22 January 1992) is a retired road racing cyclist who rode professionally between 2014 and 2019 for the An Post–Chain Reaction, JLT–Condor, Aqua Blue Sport and Israel Cycling Academy teams.

Born in St Albans, Dunne initially represented Great Britain and competed for amateur teams in the UK, Belgium and Ireland.

[10] Following the collapse of Aqua Blue Sport, in November 2018 it emerged that Dunne would join the Israel Cycling Academy team for the 2019 season.

His salary for the year was paid by former Aqua Blue owner Rick Delaney due to Dunne signing a contract with the team for 2019 before it folded.

[14] Dunne's first victory in a professional race came on stage one of the 2013 An Post Rás while riding for Irish amateur team Iverk Carrick Wheelers.

He won the 135km stage from Dunboyne to Longford after outsprinting three-time New Zealand National Criterium champion Michael Northey to the line.

[16] In a race that was neutralised for twenty minutes while two riders were airlifted to hospital, Dunne overcame the cold and windy conditions to break clear from a ten-rider group in the closing stages and took victory by fourteen seconds.
