Hugh Byrne, Manager

Hugh Byrne has lead a team of volunteer coaches at Ireland’s National Velodrome in his native Dublin for the past 10 years and has been involved in all stages of riders development, in some cases from their very first day on the track all the way through to National squad. He founded Ireland’s top track cycling team in 2008, and has lead them to domination of the domestic scene. He has coached multiple National Champions at Elite, Youth and Masters level with a particular domination in team events and, as National Team Manager, there are not many Irish riders who have not had the benefit of his help or advice at some stage. His primary interest is in bringing his unique style of coaching to developing riders of all levels. Hugh leads from the trenches, brings a true sense of team to the Dublin Thunder and has huge confidence in his riders to punch above their weight!
