Cycling Ireland has named a six-person junior team for GP Andre Noyelle, the Under 19 version of Gent Wevelgem which takes place on Sunday 27th March. It is three years since Ireland last fielded a team in a UCI Junior Men's Nations Cup event. The team comprises of three second year juniors and three first year juniors.
Irish Squad:
• Quillan Donnelly (Usher Irish Road Club)
• Adam Gilsenan (Club Ciclistico Canturino 1902 asd)
• Oisín Ferrity (Island Wheelers)
• Liam O'Brien (Fermoy CC)
• Patrick O'Loughlin (Panduit Carrick Wheelers)
• Conal Scully (Carlow RCC)
Starting and finishing in the historic city of Ypres, the 121km race will be held over many of the same roads as the professional races later in the day, including twice up the famed Kemmelberg cobbled climb.
