Wild Geese Racing

The end of teams at the end of the year. We have so much coverage on TV these days, it's remarkable considering we didn't have any before. When I was racing, we saw everybody at the races. Now we only see them and the team colours on TV.

A number of teams will close at the end of the year. We don't know who they are yet. At least one team I raced against shut down last winter. There will be another one this winter, probably two or three more.

Many teams from the 80s and 90s, amateur teams, turned pro over the years. Mine, through various iterations, turned pro and kept going.

Who will keep going and who won't? I'm not talking about the riders or the staff, just the clubs. It will be interesting. Another jersey gone, another jersey brought into the bunch. Who knows?

Back in 1982 I rode a bike race in Bristol on A CRITERIUM CIRCUIT which had a camera motorbike following us. Now this is not Harder to do in 2026 of f**k it's really easy with little ghtweight cameras. How let's organisers away with no video coverage of events is beyond me. My nimal cost exposure and great benefits. IF I WOULD LIKKE TO SEE THE IRISH ATHLETES PARTICULARLY ON THE BIKE AND, N THE SWIM IM GUESSING THEIR COACHES WOULD BE EVEN MORE KEEN.
NOT YET UP TO PREVIEWS AND REVIEWS SO ILL KEEP MY THOUGHTS TO MYSELF, BUT HOPEFULLY AS WE MOVE THOUGH THE SEASON THERE WILL BE MORE.

There are 3 really important points to get right when writing a selection or qualification criteria. Clarity and clarity of intention. Does the document say what it wants and does it mean what it says. Also how will it be interpreted. Because the document will almost certainly end up being assessed by a team of people in an appeal setting with legal representation. So here is an initial test .@worldtriathlon Ireland cross the line 1st in the Hamburg World Team Relay Championships. Ireland start the morning with 3 athletes in the top 160 in ranking. Do they get any qualification points, maximum points or are the points passed down to another team. Do we have to wait till may 2018 to find out? If we must wait a is there a process to keep teams updated on where they may be placed will other races take place. clarity and Interpretation.

Still struggling to get to grips with this. So the relay takes place. The logic says they gather all the info and on the last day they look at who is in the top 260 , allocate all the points and move on to games. But how are countries supposed to track if they have slots or not. Is the top 260 judged only on the final day or at every time stamp moment along the qualy pathway? I've tried to see clarity in the document but can only find line after line open to interpretation. I can see athletes driving jcbb size holes through it when it's added to a selection document.

Cycling has truly cracked the Can't see Can't be campaign. Orla Chennaoui presents the sport to us and the world from in front of the Cameras. There are five Irish riders competing in the world's biggest event. And when you see a bottle being handed up to a Team UAE ADQ rider or a spare bike it is an Irish Woman Susan O'Mara who is leading the teams logistics and making sure everything is where it is supposed to be when it is supposed to be for one of the biggest teams in Pro Cycling. If you are an Irish woman there is a place for you in cycling. You don't have to be an athlete. There are so many opportunities in the sport and I haven't even mentioned the coaching and nutrition professionals who I know are heavily involved with the riders.
