Michael Vanthourenhout (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) overcame a broken show to win the second round of the 2024 UCI World Cup with a sharp acceleration in the final corners of a close race in Dublin.

The former European champion took advantage of a slip by team-mate Eli Iserbyt on some banking in the final lap to escape from a group of six which had led throughout much of the race.
