Cycling Ireland has published criteria for those riders hoping to be selected onto the Irish team for the UCI eSports World Championships on December 8th.
The criteria do not involve specific results that will automatically secure selection, or put some riders ahead of others in the selection contest. However, performance at one upcoming nominated race will count in the selection process based on three criteria headings.
The other two headings are (1) recent results and (2) a power file will also be considered for each interested rider when the team is being selected.
The nominated race is the final round of the Cycling Ireland eRacing Winter League on December 2nd at 7pm. Anyone competing in that race - organised in conjunction with RWB - who is aiming for Worlds selection must compete for all primes in the race.
