Marcus has bike stolen
The former Causeway Cycle Club member was staying at the Johnstown House Hotel and Spa in Enfield on Saturday when the theft took place a few hours before the National Road Race Championships in Kilcullen.
The bike, a limited edition Giant Propel, was snatched from the backseat of the car when thieves smashed a window to gain access before making off with it.

Hide AdChristie had been given the bike from his former team Bissell-ABG and had added a few extras to bump up the price of it considerably. It came with Zipp 404 wheels and a Quarq power meter and was blue and black in colour.
The former Irish international is hoping someone saw something and will get it back.
Luckily Marcus borrowed a bike on the racing day and won a team gold medal with team mates, Mark Dowling and Bryan McCrystal.
