Cycling Ireland has named their 12-rider squad for October’s World Championships with Sam Bennett and Nicolas Roche spearheading the team.
“Doha will see a lot of fast races” said Cycling Ireland Technical Director Brian Nugent.

“We have selected a team with strong riders across all categories, the profile for the courses are fairly flat, so there should be intense racing, which could come down to bunch sprints. The time trial courses will be fast too, and after a strong showing at the European Championships last month, we are hoping for some top performances from the team.”
Bennett will lead the team in the men’s road race with Matt Brammeier and Ryan Mullen protecting their sprinter. Mullen will also take part in the time trial, with Roche also competing in the discipline.
Anna Turvey is set to be Ireland’s only representative in the women’s side, and will compete in the individual time trial.
