FBD Rás welcomes first New Zealand team

NEW ZEALAND are to enter a team for the first time in the prestigious FBD Rás (May 23-30).

Though their final lineup has not been confirmed their squad includes Olympic medallists Marc Ryan and Wes Gough along with Endura Racing team professional Jack Bauer.

Race director Dermot Dignam welcomed the historic news. “The riders are all strong and experienced and, as we have seen many times before with the British competitors, a track background can translate really well into road racing. They will have the pure speed and the group discipline necessary to take some big results.”
