Today we returned to Tullamore for the first time since 2019.

As always Donagh McArdle and the entire Tullamore  Club turned out in force to promote the PHOENIX CUP on behalf of the IVCA.

The Marshals and Lead Car drivers provided by the club allowed our Rostered marshals to race and they did an unbelievable job on every junction in very wet and windy conditions providing the riders with a  very safe race, so a Huge thanks to them.

Back at the Sign on venue for the prize presentation we were treated to a very generous array of prizes for each race while enjoying  excellent refreshments.

So thank you to the  Sponsors for the prizes and all involved.

Below see the provisional results

First 4 to 6 places are  posted for each race as we had no photo finish camera today so please email the Race committee if you featured in the results especially 6th-10th place racecom@theivca.com

Thank you to all the riders who travelled and provided a safe race for everyone.

On what was probably the best weather we could ask for on a Tuesday evening, we had good numbers racing this week, so thank you to all those who made the effort.  We had some fast racing on the short Culmullin course.

As with each of the preliminary results we post, assistance is required to fill the gaps.  Please email racecomm@theivca.com and we’ll make any necessary changes before publishing the final results later this week.

A special thanks to the marshals, who turned out to do their bit, and of course to the officials on the night.  Well done to all, and congratulations to the winners in each group.

Hi folks,

Just under 2 laps of the ‘lumpy’ Kilmessan course, starting from Dunsany GAA, for our mid-week race.  Good to see plenty of action following our enforced ‘day off’ as we all helped with the Wicklow 200 last weekend.

A few issue  with the finish line camera this week so your help in filling in the gaps would be welcomed. Please email racecomm@theivca.com and we’ll make any necessary changes before publishing the final results later this week.

Thanks as always to the marshals and organisers, and to our hosts this week at Dunsany GAA club. Finally, congratulations to all our winners.

Hi folks,

Whilst it was another damp Tuesday evening, a few hardy souls made it to the line for a short but fast couple of laps of the Green Sheds circuit.

Hi folks,

Please see below for the preliminary results from Sunday’s race at Carlow.

A great days racing on a tough course, I’m certain you’ll all agree.  We are grateful to Fergal Kennedy for his hard work in putting in place the arrangements for the event, which even included him driving around the course on the morning of the race to make sure there were no obstacles and we could all race safely.  Thank you Fergal.

Just under 2 laps of a fast circuit resulted in a quick set of events on Tuesday evening.  Thankfully the rain held off and all arrived back at Race HQ safely to enjoy a post race pint of protein drink!

Hi all,

As most of you will be aware, a serious crash occurred during the bunch sprint of the Black group.  As riders were still on the ground when the Orange, White, and Green groups arrived, their sprints were neutralised and no results recorded for these groups, or for that matter, the bunch in the Black group.

Safety of all riders in the IVCA league is of the utmost importance, and we simply could not put anyone at risk whilst the injured were attended to by the paramedics.

We are grateful to all those who assisted the injured riders following the crash, and we wish everyone a speedy recovery.

Results of the Black group (there was a break who had a decent lead on the bunch), and the Red group are below.

I’m certain that many were watching the rain come through during Tuesday, and this led them to deciding a turbo session or washing their hair was a better option!  We therefore had reduced numbers on the night, although the hard core competitors who did turn out were met with clearing skies and sunshine by the time we were flagged off.

As you may have picked up from last Tuesday’s posting of the results, we are now posting preliminary results for the placings in each group.  If there’s a gap or an error, please email racecomm@theivca.com and we’ll make any necessary changes before publishing the final results later this week.

Thanks as always to the marshals and race organisers, and to you, the riders, who make IVCA racing such a great experience.  We would also like to thank our hosts at the Hatchet Inn for their hospitality.

Thank you, from the Race Committee
