Final adjusted overall elite men's Cycling Ireland National Road Series

There was significant movement in the elite men's final overall classification of the Cycling Ireland National Road Series after the fifth round last month.

A number of riders who scored well in that final round - where double points were on offer - moved up the final standings, including Mark Dowling and Tim O'Regan (All human-VeloRevolution) as well as Conor Halvey; the Four Masters man who has had a great season and is proving one to watch for the future.

While Cycling Ireland had published a version of the overall results after the final round in Dromore, promoted by Banbridge Cycling Club, only the top six riders in that last race had their points factored into the overall results. However, the results below - which are full and final, thankfully - includes the double points scored by all of the riders who placed in the top 20 in the Dromore race.

Teggart won the opening three rounds of the series – the Des Hanlon Memorial, Darrach McCarthy Road Race, Meath Grand Prix – and was 2nd in the final round at the weekend.

Those results saw him take the overall victory in the series from Luke Smith (Moynalty CC) and Gareth O’Neill (Caldwell Cycles). Smith was one of only two riders to score points in all five rounds – along with Conor Murnane of UCD CC – with his best result coming in the Meath GP, where he finished in 2nd place to Teggart.

O’Neill rounded out the final podium with 92 points. He scored points in four of the five rounds, including a best finish of 3rd on the Darrach McCarthy Road Race, the second round in the series.

Aaron Wade (Team U Cube 17) won the final round of the series on Sunday, after escaping with Teggart from the main breakaway and getting the jump on him just before the finish. Wade was injured for a chunk of the season, and was also based in France for much of the time he was racing.
