A Celebration of The Mountain Bike Community in Ireland
The Irish National Downhill Championships are not just about the race; they're a celebration of the entire mountain biking community. Riders from all over Ireland will converge to compete, bringing with them their unique styles and unyielding determination. Among the top contenders is last year's champion, Greg Callaghan, who secured his victory with a 1 minute 15 seconds lead over Oisin O’Callaghan. However, this year’s competition coincides with Crankworx Whistler in Canada, so fans might miss seeing Ronan Dunne in action.
Despite the absence of some international stars, the event promises fierce competition and electrifying performances. Each rider will bring their best to the track, striving for the prestigious title of national champion and the green, white and orange sleeve on their jersey.
