Top-level international para-cycling competition for Team Ireland kick starts into action on 6-9 May with the opening round of the 2021 UCI Para-cycling Road World Cup in Oostende, Belgium. It also marks the end of the Paralympic qualification period…Good luck Team IRL!!

The prospects are exciting after an extended period with very few racing opportunities: due to the coronavirus pandemic, no rounds of the 2020 UCI Para-cycling World Cup could be held, and the 2021 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships, which were to have taken place in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in March, were also canceled. A team of five Irish athletes will compete in both the road race and time trial events within their respective categories.
Damien Vereker & Marcin Mizgajski – MB
Chris Burns – MC2
Declan Slevin – MH3
Gary O’Reilly – MH5
