    interesting Road race course through derry city

    race manual

    Between the Maiden City Crit and the Foyle Three Day, I'd say the city is used to it. Would be decent crowds maybe? I did the Three Day in 2017 (the one the horse joined) and I'm surprised they didn't use some of those routes. Gruelling.

    Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall reading that there would be highlights on TV later the following week for this?

    I thought they were going to televise it live-ffs-highlights later-that sucks, we have dunbar and Bennett, 2 world class riders in our nationals, not since Roche and Kelly have we had such a great field. This is so disappointing.

    Which pros are doing it? Dunbar and Dunne, Bennett I assume - are Roche or Martin?

    Dunbar, Dunne, Bennett, Mullen. No Roche or Martin - I'd presume they'll have a tilt at the Tour so holding off for that.

    What part of the course would be a good place to view it hopefully near a pub

    I'm heading up myself - don't know the area either.

    I'm thinking of watching a lap or two at the first hill at Chapel Road and will probably heading towards the finishing straight for the rest and like yourself, try and find a bar. Looks like there's a few on Shipquay Street.

    The route:

    Ship Quay Street , a few good sized bars on the left side on the way up . Claude's Cafe at the top of the street on the right is a good choice too for food & coffee etc .

    Should be a good days racing

    Does the course suit Bennett ?

    Didn't Sam Bennett have the same issue last year?

    I think it'll suit Dunbar and Dunne a little bit more.

    A few short but sharp 'hills' where they can do a bit of damage.


  • Posts: 15,661 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I don't know now I saw this on Sam's twitter from a Hammer Series event last month. Hills will favour some of the others for sure but he looked to be having a bit of craic on these.

    I see Eurosport have coverage of the French nationals at the weekend. It'll be a 10-15 man FDJ train at the front all day like other years. That can't be right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭Boscoirl


    No Bike didn’t slow Ryan Mullen down in the TT anyway.

    To avoid the heat maybe? Last year was cat for heat, women being peeled off the road with heat exhaustion.

    Mild compared to the 33-36 degrees they had for the women's race in France there. Caught the last 40km of it. Plenty of spectators with hoses and bottles for them.

    Anyone Tweeting from race? What time is it starting?

    Seen a clip of the women's race from St. Cecilia's PE. The speed of them, I could barely make out who was who.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,961 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    23 starters only it seems.

    Twitter updates are quick and very helpful.

    5km to go looks like it's down to Dunbar and Bennett. Have to fancy Sam in that pairing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,116 ✭✭✭bazermc


    Highlights on ES1 next Saturday at 445pm according to my sky planner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 837 ✭✭✭Subpopulus


    Sam takes it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭cunavalos


    Delighted for Sam. Turning out to be quite a day for Bora with victories in Ireland, Austria, Slovakia, likely Germany and Formolo out in front in Italy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭cunavalos


    I should also point out that Peter Sagan will actually have to wear the normal Bora jersey for the rest of the season as it was Juraj who won the Slovakian title. I can't remember the last time I saw him not racing in a world or national champion jersey

    That's only scheduled for a 15 minute slot, but it's scheduled again at 9.30pm the same evening for 30 minutes.
    It'll probably be the same content with added adverts/Watts Zapp, but you never know...

    Former Kanturk youth cyclists have won the male Junior, U-23 and Senior championships 2019 (and second also in Senior).
