The course for the 2019 Cyclocross World Championships is a steep, coastal circuit, defined by a 10-foot high seawall with a steep embankment. Ground conditions were on Friday described as 'frozen and fast', with reports of mussel shells adding a unique potential hazard to the Irish riders competing for World Champions' jerseys.
Ireland will be competing first in the Junior Men's race at 10am on Saturday, then the Men's U23 at 12pm and the Women's U23 on Sunday, all set to live-streamed by the UCI: Click Here For Feed.
