With a little under two months to go until the start of the 2016 An Post Rás, the first two international teams have been unveiled.
An Post Rás Race Director, Tony Campbell has confirmed that the Australian Continental squad Cisco RT and the American CCB International squad will both travel for the prestigious event, which is the toughest Irish cycling race on the calendar.
Cisco RT hails from Brisbane and its riders regularly compete against those from the well-known Drapac Pro Cycling, Avanti and Budget Forklifts squads.
In its tenth year of existence, the team is bringing a squad of seven to eight riders to Europe in early April. They will compete in four 1.2-ranked races in the Netherlands prior to An Post Rás and those events should have the riders in top condition at the start in Dublin Castle.
“The team will have overall general classification goals and this will require some top stage performances,” said team manager Terence Bonner. “We will also either target the sprint or King of the Mountains jersey, depending on how the first couple of stages unfold.” More>>>
