    On the track hopefully Martyn Irvine and Caroline Ryan. Beyond that the only outside chance is probably Felix English, although I think he'll need to show a significant improvement over the forthcoming season

    We'll have 2 in the mens road race
    Martyn Irvine should qualify but it won't be easy.
    There are outside chances for Caroline Ryan in the womens TT, possibly women's MTB and mens BMX looks a strong bet.
    I still think the womens track team pursuit team can make it but it's a long shot.

    we will be hoping for at least 3 in the Mens RR.
    Martyn could do it. Caroline has a chance in the TT as RF said.

    It willbe dependant on our national ranking as to how many we have there in the Mens RR.

    Although she is good enough to be there Ireland have to be in the top 23 countries on the world rankings to qualify a place.

    At present we are 44th
