British Cycling may have closed the door, but Will Perrett has never waited for permission. His National Madison triumph, achieved alongside fellow non-GB rider Logan MacLean, was a pointed statement from an athlete still operating at the highest level. In this first part of a two-part interview, Perrett discusses belief, rejection and carving out his own space in the sport.
Stage 2 of Rás Tailteann 2025 was as attritional as it was spectacular, ending with a magnificent solo victory for Will Perrett (DAS–Richardsons) in Clifden and the emergence of a new race leader: 19-year-old Odhran Doogan (Cycling Ulster), who swept into yellow with a maturity well beyond his years.
Two more British teams – DAS Richardsons and a Great Britain squad marking its first appearance since 2013 – are set to join a strong British contingent at the 70th Rás Tailteann.
