Cycling: Ireland on track to make mark in Paris

Though plans to build Ireland’s first velodrome remain etched on the drawing board, Ireland’s track cycling team is motoring along regardless. 

This week they arrive in Paris with hopes of more medals at a World Championship.

It’s a faintly ridiculous situation, but one which the country’s elite track cyclists make light of as they kick off the five-day event today with a talented squad hungry for glory.
