What was scheduled as the ninth round of the National Road Series, the Tralee Manor West iBike GP, has been cancelled.
The organisers said the race, which was due to take place on July 10th, clashes with an unspecified local event in Tralee.
However, the national series round has been saved with the Killorglin CC GP scheduled for the following Sunday, July 17th, now set to be added to the series as round 9.
It means the series will not lose a round and the replacement event will take place in Co Kerry, maintaining the regional spread of the season-long classic league.
