Jordan Dunne: ‘My mother worries like crazy when I’m on the bike’

If you’ve ever travelled the South Ring road that skirts Cork City, particularly on a weekend, you may have heard the engines scrambling and the occasional guttural roar from up behind the Kinsale road roundabout.

And there’s no mistaking the roar of a 450cc KTM or a Kawasaki in full flight.

This weekend will be noisier than most up there as Vernon Mount hosts the 2017 Irish Motocross Championships for youths and adults for the first time on consecutive days. Tomorrow is all about the youth categories while Sunday is set to attract one of the strongest adult fields in years.
