Circuit of Ireland 2008 starts today

A lacklustre field for the Circuitofireland International start from Newcastle today, only 28 starters in International field. Expect good competition at the head of the leaderboard between Higgins, McNulty, DMG, Boland and the MacHales. Hurson is a late withdrawal due to business commitments and Darren Gass is a non starter.
