Preview: A Series of Two Horse Races
David Conroy, back from racing in Spain, usualy is not seen after he gets the hole shot. Can Robin Seymour, unencumbered by a course setup, keep with the fast starting Conroy? Paul “Squeek” O’Reilly should be in the mix too.
In the M40s, Evan Ryan and Sean Ó Tuathail are expected to battle it out for the 1st Unplaced M40. They are usually able to stay with Robin, until the later laps when Robin opens the taps.
In the M50s, John Doris and Michael Jordan are starting along side eachother. David Lawless might not be too far behind on the grid.
In the Juniors, Sean Nolan will be aiming to win that category. He’ll have Callaghan, Doolan and Ennis to keep him honest.
Closer to home, first Scott Orwell Wheeler, will be contested by Eoin Ahern, Ronan O’Flynn, Eric Downey, Paul Kane and Callum O’Toole. Eoin has been improving all season, and the climbing nature of the course should suit him. Paul Kane kept Eoin under pressure in Kilternan and could also be aided by the climbing and his bike handling. The long straights could play into the hands of Ronan O’Flynn.
Gridded Riders are Numbers 101-115.

Preview: B-attle Lines
The top two ranked B-Riders in the Bike7 SuperCross Cup will start alongside each other on the grid, Fearghal and Lukasz. This will be a preview of the upcoming race in Russborough House. Alan Killian should also be factored into the equation too.
There are many more Senior riders in the B-Race, so luck and track positioning will be a factor. The Travel Weary, Valdis Andersons, and, former Scott Orwell Wheeler, Marcin Worbel cannot be discounted for the Overall victory.
In the masters categories, the gridded M40s and M50 will have plenty of pressure applied to them as they battle for the
In the M60s, Orwell’s Lloyd Moore got the better of EPIC MTB’s Terry O’Neill, in Greystones. Can Lloyd keep ahead of the serial M60 Prize Winner?
In the U16s, the climbing course should suit, club man, Ruairi Byrne, if he can have a clean run. The other U16s will keep Ruairi under pressure.
In the U14s, Orwell’s Ryan Fox, will have some competition, but he should prevail.
First Scott Orwell Wheeler will be a tight one. Barry Mooney has got some good results, but a hard few weeks of event preparation might’ve put a dent in his hopes. Michael Hanley and Barry O’Brien will have a tall order to resist Valdis onslaught.
Gridded Riders are Numbers 201-215.

Preview: How do you Solve a Problem like Klaudia?
Klauida Bajolek will be hard to beat. The Scott/Eurocycles.com rider has been super strong all season, with winning Bike7 SuperCross Cup and Ulster CycloCross Series outings. It might be a case that only a mechanical can prevent her. She’ll have to decide how hard to go from the gun, in case she needs something in reserve to recover from a setback.
Niamh Stephens had winning returns in Navan and Oldcastle this season. The TC Racing rider should be solidly in contention for a podium.
Orwell’s Aishling O’Connor and, former Orwell member, Aideen Keenan, shared the podium in Oldcastle, with O’Connor getting the higher placing.
Scott Orwell’s Roches and Reillys will be battling for the three Youth and Junior podiums on offer. They won’t have it all their own way though.
In the Masters category, Mary Dawson, of Bray Wheelers, will be favourite. She’ll be facing competition from EPIC MTBs, Tara Kerins. Mary will be hoping that her front row grid spot will give her the opportunities to choose a better line through the first two corners.
Gridded Riders are Numbers 1-10.
