We’ve put together a selection of shots of the An Post-Sean Kelly team’s training camp in Calpe in southern Spain.
The gear and bikes look great and the guys look lean and ready to go.
If you’re one of the multitude slumming it training in the wind and cold in Ireland; sorry to shatter your morale with the blue skies and sunshine in these photos.
The photos have been sourced from team members.
