National Championships - spectators

Interested also.

I'm thinking somewhere along this climb would be the place to be.

At least that is my plan. Now need to figure out how to get there via car without getting in the way.

Can't find anything on it so not sure.

Might be worth changing this to a general Nat. championship thread too if the OP doesn't mind

Surface on Breagura Road is brutal. Looks like they only go down it once though.

On another note: any word on the startlist and times? Especially the TTs. Less than 2 days to go.

That could work. I think up by the Beehive is a decent place for a watch. Bit of a drag and a nice wide road so you'll see everyone. Plus if you get your timing right you'll see the finish.

It would be nice to see Nico go out as champ

Expect a strong ride from (checks notes) 'First Name, Last Name'.

Sad that the Nationals RR clashes with Paris Roubaix

But I think it will be a good race

Love to see Sam there but probaly being sent to some unknown race

I guess its Eddie Dunbar's turn to take the jersey. I know Nico is really up for it

He was talking after winning the tt and said there's been a change on the teams roster so he's riding the nationals on Sunday

I see Nico time on strava

34.64 km avg 43.3kph

But a guy who finished 6th in u23's was 33.62 km avg 45.7kph

Wondering if under 23's winning time was faster ?

Knew i was way faster than strava was saying...feckin strava 😉

The highlights RTE will be showing is on Tuesday though, not tomorrow unfortunately. I'm not sure ill be able to avoid seeing the results until Tuesday
