Irish rider Fiona Mangan has secured a place on a new French team that will mean she has a chance of riding bigger races, such as Paris Roubaix, next season.
Limerick woman Mangan's new contract with a new team tops a fantastic season for her, winning both the road race and TT titles at the National Road Championships on home roads in the summer before being selected for her first UCI World Championships, last month in Zurich.
And now she has been unveiled as one of several new signings by Winspace Cycling Team, a French Continental-level squad Winspace, which is going into its 13th season next year having started out as Poitou-Charentes back in 2009.
