Just weeks after the folding of the Aqua Blue Sport team, Ireland’s Eddie Dunbar has signed for Team Sky with immediate effect.

Hopefully now with the new sponsor, it’ll increase the chances of getting to that level and give me time to develop because I’m still young.

Eddie Dunbar was named the Irish Male Cyclist of the Year at the Cycling Ireland Awards night over the weekend.

Eddie Dunbar is the new National Junior road race champion after an enthralling battle with Michael O’Loughlin (Nicolas Roche Performance Team) in yesterday’s title showdown in Blarney, promoted by the Osbourne Meats/Edge Sports Shop team.

THE last time Mart Ojavee contested the FBD Insurance RÁS, he was supporting an Estonian team-mate.
