UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup Support Races Information
A blockbuster weekend of Cyclo-cross action next month will feature a host of exciting support races on the Sport Ireland Campus ahead of the 2023 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup Dublin round on November 26th.
The best Cyclo-cross riders in the world return to Dublin after a first-ever UCI World Cup event last December saw over 8,000 fans create a fantastic atmosphere in a memorable day for the Irish Cycling Community.
