The UCI event, which runs over two days (Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July) at Dublin's Sundrive Velodrome, brings together the elite of Irish men's and women's track cycling and pits them against a selection of the world's finest. It's a stiff but very welcome test for proven local riders like Mark Downey, Felix English, Lydia Gurley, Lydia Boylan and recently crowned national road race champion Alice Sharpe, all of whom have the credentials to compete with - and beat - world-class opposition from abroad.
A full programme of men’s and women’s events will take place over the course of the weekend, with Olympic medallists Jason Kenny and Lasse Norman Hansen, as well as 2018 team pursuit world champion Ethan Hayter, the visiting riders who may attract most attention in the men's field. Competing for honours with the Irish women will be stellar names such as former European scratch and points champion Trine Schmidt, 2016 road race world champion Amalie Dideriksen and world team sprint bronze-winner Victoria Williamson.
On what looks like being a sunny weekend in Dublin, spectators and supporters are invited to drop by Sundrive and catch these giants of track cycling doing their thing in what will be one of the best track events held in the UK and Ireland this year. It's a wonderful and accessible opportunity for Irish fans to see some stars of the velodrome up close and personal.
