Lifeline for Irish cycling

Irish cycling has been thrown a lifeline with the announcement that the new EvoPro Racing team will form a 17–man roster for its debut season as a professional outfit in 2019.

With the Rás Tailteann still without a title sponsor and the sudden closure of the Aqua Blue Sport team last August, EvoPro will prove some relief for Irish cycling which is going through a tough period in terms of attracting investment at a sporting level.
