The National Criterium Championships are set to take place in Co Limerick this day week, Thursday August 19th, with a number of titles down to decision.
As well as those races where Irish national championships
medals will be on offer, there is a Masters demonstration event, which will not
crown any Irish champions.
In the past, demonstration events have been held on the
undercard of National Championships racing with view of those events and
categories become national title races in the future.
This year’s National Criterium Championships will be hosted by Greenmount Cycling Academy, fresh from its win in the Newcastle West Stage Race with Fiona Mangan.
