While there is a weekend of road and track action ahead in Ireland, the loss of the Kanturk Three Day means there is no road racing on Saturday or Monday.
However, Saturday will see the action kick off on the track with the promotion of the Junior National Championships, with all four events - for male and female juniors - to be run off in one day.
The races unfold at the Eamonn Ceannt Stadium, Sundrive Road, Dublin, with national titles up for grabs in the sprint, 3km pursuit, kilo and 10km scratch race for the males. And for the females the four events are the sprint, 2km pursuit, 500m and 7.5km scratch race.

The unfortunate feature of the loss of the Kanturk Three Day - cancelled before entries opened - is there is no road racing at all anywhere in Ireland on Saturday, on a Bank Holiday weekend just two months into the 2024 season.
