Grace Young (Strata 3-VeloRevolution) and Conor Hennebry (Dan Morrissey-MIG-Pactimo) lead the way as the Cycling Ireland National Road Series goes down to the wire this weekend.

The final round takes place in Cork and riders can turn up and enter on the day, with no pre entry required for this one.

As it is the final round of the series, double points are
on offer which may influence the final destination of the titles for 2019.

The last round, the Cork Grand Prix, is being organised
by one of the most dominant teams of the season on the domestic season, Dan
Morrissey-MIG-Pactimo.

As the event is being run by his own club, Conor Hennebry
in particular will be gunning for success with his team mates.

Grace Young, meanwhile, has looked very comfortable in her series leader’s jersey though the season.

And the international road rider will be out to seal the deal this Sunday if she can get back on her bike after a broken collar bone.

Sign on for the event is open from 10am to 12 noon at
Buckley’s Bar in Whitechurch, Co Cork.

The women’s race is 80km while the men will compete over
100km. The men’s event is open to A1-A2-A3 riders, with separate prizes for the
A3s.

The men’s race starts at 12.30pm and the women’s event
will roll out five minutes later.

Just to confirm, no pre-entry is required so if you fancy
a final blow-out before the season ends, there’s no need to get you name down in
advance.
