    44 is low at this stage for the RR's. We hosted it last year and had about 75-80 at this stage with very few entries on the day.

    To be honest racing against the pro's is no biggie, Roche, Deignan and Martin aside there is ample opportunity to race against the An Post, Pezula and Giant Asia lads most weekends. I just don't think that most of the 9 to 5ers could be bothered going down there to be murdered. What might breathe some life back into it is if a prize was on offer on the day for best Amateur rider (not being paid to ride for a pro team).

    i think your right, for a 9 to 5er to travel to get murdered, even thou it wil be a great experience.

    I think also its the distance to travel to get there that has a impact on the attendance.
