Irish compete in world cycling tests

Ireland will have two competitors in the elite men’s road race at the World Road Cycling Championships in Verona, Italy on Sunday, October 3.

Ireland are currently ranked 29th in the ranking with 728 points. Nations ranked between 21st and 35th in the rankings may start two riders in the race.

In recent years Ireland has made considerable advances in the world rankings, due in part to the endeavours of our top ten ranked riders, including U23 riders Philip Deignan and Nicolas Roche. Deignan and Roche are currently ranked 5th and 63rd respectively in the U23 men’s rankings.
