Cycling Ireland A1 rankings; battle for top rider of 2019 going down to wire

They have been vying for top spot for the full season and Conor Hennebry, Lindsay Watson and Charlie Prendergast are still fighting hard and getting results

With just a few weekends of racing on the domestic calendar remaining, the battle to be the top ranked A1 rider of the season is still very much alive.

The updated rankings by Cycling Ireland have Charlie Prendergast (Castlebar CC) just ahead of his nearest rivals.

Lindsay Watson (Powerhouse Sport) is next in line followed by the man who has topped the rankings in the past, Conor Hennebry (Dan Morrissey-MIG-Pactimo).

Prendergast is on 214 points having enjoyed his best season ever during which he has racked up win after win.

His latest placings include 3rd at Ras Cill Mocheallog, a
win at the Tourmakeady Festival Race and 3rd in the Brian McNamara Memorial.

They have nudged his points tally to 214, with 10 race
wins so far on the domestic road racing season.

Watson is only eight points off rankings leader Prendergast; the Powerhouse man racking up a total tally of 206 points to date.

He has nine wins so far this year and, like Prendergast,
though he has been hitting the heights since the start of the campaign he is
maintaining his form.

Of late he took 7th in the North Down GP, 8th in the
Madigan Cycles GP and won the JG Memorial Road Race.

There is a bigger gap back to Hennebry, though nobody
would put it past him to make up ground; the prolific winner on 188 points.

He has eight wins so far this year but has been in
especially good form of eight; taking 1st or 2nd in the last seven races he has
taken points in.

His most recent results include winning both Rás Cill Mocheallog and the Collins Christie
Memorial while finishing 2nd in the John Beggs Memorial.
