Do they mean Dublin California !

I hadnt realised that this was even a possibility. MvDP in Dublin - hopefully !

meh

what the betting there wont be beer and frites with mayo available !

spoilsports

and yes massive news

Huge news indeed and with van der Poel not aiming for the road world championship this year he'll hopefully begin his cross season a bit earlier than in 2019.

And chips taste better in Ireland anyway

They have a Dublin in Georgia too!!!

Yeah be nice to see MvDP do 9 or 10 procession laps here in the flesh

23 starts and 22 wins so far this season and it looks like it'll be a race for second and third on Sunday the form he's on. He can even afford to hit trees, start further back on the grid and still win.

EDIT: I'm forgetting this will mean the womens elite will be on too so a chance to see Vos the boss maybe, bit passed her CX best but would still be great to see her race as well as some others.

eeeee

The people who sponsor the Super Prestige series in Belgium have bought the independent and I suspect are behind this

A bit more here on the changes to the season and world cup and some anti doping which needs be seriously looked at as severing a ban in the off season is horse poop and some of the women were rightly up in arms this season over it

It's awesome news, busy times ahead at the National Sports Campus.

Visitors will be expecting almighty craic in the beer tents, wonder if it will be allowed?

Hopefully the encourage cycling to it and have temporary busses to it, as the Nationals sports campus has brutal public transport unless you live on a 17a bus route or maybe the 38

Are you sure it is there, I haven't been out but a few people who were said it might be a bit small. Phoenix park would be more central and hosted plenty of CX races years ago.

We could of course bring them to Oldcastle for a mudbath but they may never return :pac:

That's the rumour, it hasn't been confirmed yet. No one seems to know who is organising it!

That weekend is pencilled in for the Great Pink Run in the Phoenix Park and the OPW do not issue permits for multiple events on the same weekend for the Phoenix Park.
With the money invested in the CycloCross course at Abbotstown it is highly unlikely it will be held anywhere else. Abbotstown will also be hosting the European Cross Country Championships in December this year
