An Post-ChainReaction has waved goodbye to one of their longest-serving members of staff after soigneur Stacey Kelly moved to UK-based JLT-Condor Cycles.

The daughter of Irish cycling legend and team boss Sean Kelly has been with the Continental-ranked outfit for over five years.

But she will chase new horizons with the John Herety-led JLT-Condor Cycles squad when she links up with it in Melbourne in a few weeks.

We'll have a longer interview in coming days with Kelly about her time with An Post-ChainReaction.

In the meantime, take a look at her schedule, below.

Between her travel with the Irish track team and also the An Post-Chainreaction squad she hasn't stopped.

And life looks set to be just as hectic in the year ahead for the Carrick-on-Suir woman.

 

Kelly is always on hand to assist the riders and though she will be a big loss to An Post Chain Reaction, she'll still work for Cycling Ireland.
