Sean Kelly is one of the all time greatest sprinters in professional cycling and Irelands finest ever followed closely by Steven Roche. Kelly was the first rider to be ranked world No.1, a position he held for over six years, which is the competition record. He was the ultimate hardman of cycling winning numerous classics such as Paris Roubaix, Milan San Remo, Liege-Bastogne-Liege multiple times as well as the Tour of Spain. He also won the green jersey in the tour of France 4 times. A true Irish sporting legend!!

He's an Irish cyclist. He was a sprinter so he won a lot of races. He was good but Spephen Roche was better.
