Cycling Ireland have announced that 17 riders will represent Ireland at the 2023 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup taking place in Dublin at the Sport Ireland Campus on November 26th.
The Cyclo-cross world descends on the capital for a blockbuster weekend of racing including an exciting programme of support races on Saturday, November 25th. The event is being managed again by Forefront Sports who put on the show last year and who also staged the KPMG Women’s Irish Open at Dromoland Castle for the past two years.
The Irish riders will compete across the junior men, junior women, U23 men and elite women races throughout the day’s action.
The selection was made by the Cycling Ireland Off-road Commission’s Cyclo-cross Development. All other Irish riders racing in the UCI World Cup will wear their trade team or relevant kit.
Aine Doherty, Aliyah Rafferty and Greta Lawless make up an exciting junior women selection while six Ireland riders will take to the line in the junior men’s race, including Joseph Mullen, David Gaffney, Conor Murphy, Cameron Henry, Michael Collins and Cal Tutty.
In the U23 men’s race, Dean Harvey, Jamie Meehan, Travis Harkness and Tadhg Killeen will feature while an U23 women’s selection will compete in the elite women’s race. Caoimhe May, Darcy Harkness, Roisin Lally and Doirean Kileen have been selected.
