What is recorded here
Kanturk, County Cork, is the birthplace of Páidí O'Brien, the retired Irish cyclist who helped secure his team's first professional victory at the 2008 Vuelta a Extremadura. The small town gave its name to a rider who wore the leader's jersey in Spain and repeatedly challenged Europe's best on Irish roads. His story belongs to both the local landscape and the wider cycling world, carrying a piece of Kanturk across international races.
