Cycling Ireland has named the team for the 2017 European Road Cycling Championships, which takes place in Herning, Denmark, from the 2nd – 6th August. Seventeen of Ireland’s fastest cyclists will compete across the Elite Men, Elite Women, U23 and Junior Men’s categories, with fast tempo racing promised, thanks to a flat route in both the Road Race and Time Trial.


The Time Trials take place first, with European Silver medallist in the Individual Pursuit, Xeno Young, competing on Wednesday 2nd August in the Junior Men’s Time Trial, along with Ben Walsh. On Thursday three Irish National Champions will be in action, with Eileen Burns, Michael O’Loughlin and Ryan Mullen testing themselves on the fast course. Pocket Rocket Eddie Dunbar rounds off what will be a strong entry for Ireland in the Time Trial events.
