Caoimhe O'Brien has secured a new contract for 2025 with US Continental team Cynisca Cycling, which Irish elite road race champion Fiona Mangan rode for this year.
O'Brien has been competing for UK-based Continental team DAS-Hutchinson-Brother-UK but her new team should afford her more international racing experience next year.
She was selected for the national team for the UCI World Championships in Zurich last month, after several wins on the kermesse circuit in Belgium. O'Brien also won the U23 road race title at the National Road Championships this year as well as a stage in Rás na mBan, on her way to 5th overall.
