Having dominated the pro peloton during Irish cycling’s halcyon days Sean Kelly and Stephen Roche are set to reunite for a cycling event in Ireland later this year.
Former world No 1 and ‘king of the classics’ Kelly and
Tour de France and Worlds winner Roche will team up for the 2020 Cycle Series,
run by The Project by Nicolas Roche.
Last autumn Nicolas Roche and Philippe Gilbert were the
star turns at the event; appearing together at an evening dinner and public
interview followed by the Cycle Series ride the following morning.
The event is back again this year and will consist of an evening meal and public interview followed by the Cycle Series event the next day.
Cyclists and cycling fans can attend the evening dinner and public interview only. Or they can combine that evening event with taking part in the ride the following day.

For cyclists only interested in taking part in the bike
ride, they can buy an entry for the cycling event only.
It will be a very rare opportunity to attend an event featuring both Kelly and Roche and seeing them both interviewed together on stage should be a real treat.
Sean Kelly, Nicolas Roche and Stephen Roche will all be on hand for a meet and greet, public interview and Cycle Series sportive in Ireland in early October; the event run by 'The Project by Nicolas Roche'

Last year’s event was the first Cycle Series organised by
The Project and was based out of the Palmerstown House Estate, Co Dublin.
The evening meal and public interview with Roche and
Gilbert also featured an auction and the event raised over €10,000 for Crumlin
Children’s Hospital.
The following morning 300 cyclists turned out for the bike
ride in Co Wicklow led by Roche and Gilbert.
This year the event will take place on Saturday and Sunday,
October 3rd and 4th, and will again be based at Palmerstown
House Estate.
The evening dinner with meet and greet and public interview
with Sean Kelly and Stephen Roche takes place on Saturday evening and the bike
ride rolls out from the same hotel the next morning.
There will be two routes for the cycle on Sunday into Co
Wicklow; 65km and 105km, both involving Kelly and Roche.
The good news is there will be a full refund if Covid19
intervenes in some way and the event can’t take place.
Last year’s Cycle Series was really enjoyable and because
of that there should be plenty of people coming back for more again this year. Demand
for tickets is expected to be lively so if you’re interested it’s best to get
in quick.
