The Cyclo-cross National Series comes to a close this Sunday, 5th of January as the series finale takes place at McCrystal’s Track in Jenkinstown, Co. Louth, kindly hosted by Bellurgan Wheelers.

Following three superb rounds of racing, and with the Cyclo-cross National Championships to come the following weekend, McCrystal’s is sure to provide a tough day’s racing.

Heading into the final round Kilcullen’s Tadhg Killeen remains at the top of the Senior standings, 24 points ahead of St. Finbarr’s Richard Barry in second and All human/Velo Revolution’s Timothy O’Regan in third.

Stephanie Roche of Scott Racing leads the Senior Women’s category, just ten points ahead of McConvey Cycle’s rider Rachel Newell and Masters rider Jean Wilson from EPIC MTB in second and third.

Dungarvan’s Aoife O’Donovan is the highest placed Junior female rider. Team WORC’s Greta Lawless is the second Junior rider, and won a UCI C2 race in Clonmel, and taken Ireland’s highest ever UCI World Cup finish in Dublin in December, will surely look to keep that momentum going. Ami Flavin, also from Dungarvan sits in third in the category.

Hugh Og Mulhearne sits atop the Junior Men’s category, and will hope to kick off 2025 by taking the crown on Sunday. Greenmount’s Ciaran O’Sullivan and Spellman-Dublin Port’s Curtis McKee sit second and third, both having missed Round 2 of the series.

Full series standings going into the final round are available HERE.

Racing at Round 4 gets underway at 9.50 on Sunday with the U6 race, with Women’s racing taking place at 11.30 and Senior and Junior Men on track at 14.15.
