You can take the young lads out of Ireland but you can't take Ireland out of the young lads; anyone got an O'Neill's ball?
They have been flying this year and despite intense competition to get onto the Irish U23 team for these World Championships, these are the four who made the grade; Eddie Dunbar, Matt Teggart, Daire Feeley and Michael O'Loughlin.
Dunbar and O'Loughlin have already been in time trial action, the former taking a brilliant 9th place in the U23 test.
And all four will on Thursday line out in the road race in Doha for 165.7km in the scorching sun. It should be a brutal race but the Irish are up for the challenge.
And judging by these photos shared by Feeley online, they are in great form.
