Cycling Ireland results to be published at the beginning of each week.
Important note: The Cycling Ireland Esports series is dependent on Zwift Power monitoring and its statistical service. This also means that if you get upgraded by Zwift Power during the league, you will be upgraded in the points system, and you will start with 50% of your existing points in a higher Category. If you are close to the Category limit, and you are not a very experienced Zwifter or long-time rider familiar with your power output, we recommend choosing a higher category. In this way, you avoid being moved to a higher Category and starting with 50% of your existing points.
