The support races at the UCI CX World Cup Rd5 took place at the Sports Ireland Campus on Saturday before the main World Cup races on Sunday. We took the course before the worlds best riders which was a great experience.

I had a good race. There was a leading group of 4 of the front after 1 lap including me but the next lap things started to split up. On the next lap one rider got a puncture and another attacked splitting the group up. On the last lap I was closing in on my teammate and just as I caught him with half a lap left I got a puncture and had to ride a flat tire to the finish lining leaving me to settle for 2nd.

I’m happy with my ride and super excited for the rest of the season
