Irish cyclist Cian Keogh has secured a place with a US Continental team for next season after riding for EvoPro Racing this year. The 23-year-old from Co Wicklow, who has won two elite national titles on the track, will ride for Team Skyline in 2023.
Keogh will continue to live in Ireland next year and will travel to the team's races in Europe as well as spending a block of time in the United States for racing during the summer.
Last year the team rode a number of UCI-ranked races, including: Maryland Classic (1.Pro) and Tour of the Gila (2.2) in the US, Giro dell'Appennino (1.1) and Circuito del Porto-Trofeo Arvedi (1.2) in Italy, Tour of Funen (1.2) and Grand Prix Herning (1.2) in Denmark.
The team is based in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and has been racing internationally since 2019. It is set to expand its schedule of UCI races in Europe, the US and Canada next season.
