Mount Leinster Descent..on a road bike!

Just spotted this...just under 93kph on a road bike...looks pretty hairy with those walkers on the road:

I cycled up the ******* road not too long ago, I think I would be hard pushed to get that speed in the jeep coming down hill yet alone on a road bike. Total mental to be going that fast over the cattle grids.
He has disc brakes and a suspension type fork...

Here he is coming down Mt. Ventoux at almost 120kph:

Cars are generally slower on twisty downhills, i had great fun overtaking loads when I was in GC this winter.
But going flat out on the shitty road like that one on the vid, that's just mad...
Thats nuts

I've been up and down that road many times, it's insanely steep and the surface is $hite
Madness, stick to the mtb, something much safer like needing a helicopter to start your spin . .
