The team has built a strong reputation for developing riders and providing opportunities for Irish and British talent to progress to UCIlevel, while also attracting emerging riders from across Europe and beyond. They are currently ranked second among U23 teams in Spain, highlighting the strength and consistency of their programme. Natural Greatness - Rali - Alé arrives into the 2026 season in excellent form, having recently secured a major victory at one of Spain's most prestigious Copa España races, underlining the depth within their squad.
For this year's Rás Tailteann, the team will target both stage wins and a strong general classification result while also using the race as a platform to connect with riders from outside Spain. The team is keen to hear from riders interested in progressing their careers at an international level.

We are also always looking to connect with talented riders internationally, and Rás Tailteann provides a great opportunity to do that."
Race Director Ger Campbell added: "Natural Greatness - Rali - Alé is a team with a strong history in Rás Tailteann and they have already shown what they are capable of in previous editions. A stage win and second overall is a serious performance and they will arrive again this year with clear ambition. They are another team that will be right in the mix throughout the week."
