Preliminary Results SR_10 26th June 2022 Tullamore – Phoenix Cup

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.

TTL_07 Results 25 Mile Championship TT Moyvalley 25th June

Hi all

With very tough weather conditions on Saturday morning, strong blustery crosswinds made for very challenging race.  Some participants did not start after their warmup and some opted to

withdraw halfway through the race, TT bike handling and wheel choices became the topic of the day, fortunately, we had no incidents on the morning. Thanks to our timekeepers Ian and Dave, and to our

marshals and medics see the results below. Congrats to our 25 Mile champ Mark Shields and also to Phil Ormrod who broke an age record on a very difficult day.

Preliminary Results TueR_05 14th Mat 2022 Dunsany/Kilmessan

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.

Race Committee.
