Visiting Team 10 – Canel’s Java – Mexico
Cairde Rás Tailteann is delighted to announce our tenth visiting team for the 2025 event: Canel’s Java from Mexico. After making a strong debut in 2024 with a stage win by Cormac McGeough, the team returns this year aiming to build on that success.
Under the management of Juan José Monsiváis Almendárez, Canel’s Java has been active in the 2025 season, participating in several international races. Notably, they are set to compete in the Gran Premio New York City on May 18, 2025, a UCI 1.2 event that will serve as a key preparation for Rás Tailteann.
The 2025 squad includes: Cormac McGeough, Owen Wright, Sebastián Brenes Mata, Ignacio de Jesús Prado and Gil Alexander.
Team Manager Juan José Monsiváis Almendárez shared his thoughts on the upcoming Rás: “We are thrilled to return to Rás Tailteann after our successful debut last year. Winning a stage with Cormac was a huge achievement, and this year we’re aiming to take it further. With a strong and versatile team, we’re hopeful for more stage wins and a solid challenge for the general classification.”
Race Director Ger Campbell welcomed Canel’s Java back to the event:
“We were very impressed with Canel’s Java last year in their debut, and it’s fantastic to see them return for 2025. After their success in 2024, they’re certainly a team to watch, and we look forward to seeing how they perform this year.”
