    Genuinely not trying to be antagonistic but surely Robin Seymour who once again (for the God knows how many times!) is the Irish Mountain Bike and CX National Champion should be included in this poll?

    One DH MTB'er in there, though nothing for Ireland's greatest MTB&CX rider, surely a major gaff by CI??

    This came up some years ago, the candidates are put forward by Cycling Ireland members (at least in 2008 & 9 that is how it worked). The list is not based on performance or achievements of the year, just members' nominations ... it is your own fault if your favorite x-y-z isn't there.

    I always miss the notice about nominations though ... fishy? :rolleyes:

    I sort of thought that might be the case! Having said that I'm a regular reader of all the MTB forums and I've never yet seen an announcement from CI looking for nominations! Be very simple to set up an RSS Feed to the various sites!

    Lads, is it black tie? I just assume it was initially and was going to dust off the tux but I saw photos from a previous year and it wasn't.

    Nope, jacket and tie. Or skate shorts and a clever slogan t shirt if you're a mountain biker...
