Supercross Cup - Final Round

Rutrider

Registration for the final round of this years Supercross Cup will open at 7pm on Thursday the 24th of November. Please note that if you want to figure in the final league standings you have to start (doesn't matter if you dnf) the final round. Due to the unprecedented numbers (over 160 riders) in the league this year it will be first come first served and numbers are capped at 60 per race. The venue for the final round is Tymon Park, an old classic on a very fast course but this year will feature a few new sections to test the riders and keep the crowds of spectators entertained.

Yup, that's what I meant.. will be less techy so suit Roadies more!

Rutrider

I think it depends on the rider. Sean O Tuthail is a roadie and has done very well in every round. Tymon as always will have a good mix of on road and off road sections with some tricky turns and flat out straights. The trick is to use your personal strengths to your advantage and limit your losses where your weaknesses could let you down. In these cases its about not losing any time not trying to gain it.

Depends how you define technical really. St Annes wasn't the most technical. Kinda typical Euro CX style course really...ho hum.

Bring on the hill of confusion. Ah Tymon, my old friend. Broke my CX cherry there many moons ago.

Are mountain bikes allowed in this race?

Why are there a number of people on boards who seem upset if you say st Annes and technical in the same sentence, regardless of the qualifiers used?

Re: St Annes being technical...yes, it is a technical cross venue....but only because it has more corners, Not because there are huge root and dropoffs......as the vid shows above, its speed around corners that makes cross technical. My mum could ride the Tymon cross cross, but not fast!

55 signed up for the B race, 5 places left and 50 signed up for the A race.

Guaranteed tight exciting racing with some of the top names in cyclocross signed on for the A race and in the B race its all still to play for.

Last opportunity of 2011 to ride a cross race so nows the time to sign up to the challenge if you aren't already in. Don't forget cross is the easiest way to get invaluable race experience before your road or XC seasons.

Sign on closes Thursday at 6pm.

I guess i should have said, "Last opportunity to ride a cross race in Dublin in 2011".

Almost full now, get in quick...use that cross bike you bought for wht it was made for!

billy.fish

Hurrah for more races.

Then Nationals and the Cork race after the Santa race.

how do the final round scores work? is it best 4 results or do all 5 go together for final total~?

thanks now

Tenzor07

Fantastic Series of races, roll on next year!

Congrats to all involved!

Rutrider

To qualify you must have ridden the final round. Finishing is not a requirement.

Final score is calculated by the best 4 results (hopefully there are no huge errors in the table).

Thought it was a brilliant series of races!!

Great organisation, lots of variety in style of courses and just generally a great sport to be involved in!!!

Thanks to all the lads who spent a lot of time organising, fixing courses, digging, etc!!

I witnessed the effort Billyfish put in to St Annes rd 4!!

So well done.. I hope folk appreciate how good a series it was!!

Onwards.....!!

I'm growing the facial hair for Santa CX in Dundalk...!! Yyyyeeeeeoooooowwwwww Giddy up!!

Next year with every entry you must all bring one beer for us.

Great season though. Think we surpassed ourselves. Just need others to take up the mantle now and join in. The more attention this sport gets the bigger it will get.

Push your road clubs, push your MTB clubs, push your Tri clubs. You can run these style of events. There are people that will help you.
