New to the Unitedhealthcare team, Ireland’s Martyn Irvine looks lean and ready to go
We’ve put together for you a set of photos that have come out of the US training camps of Ireland’s three ProContinental level riders. We’ve got Phillip Deignan heading into his second year at Unitedhealthcare, who has been joined in the team for 2013 by fellow Irishman Martyn Irvine.
They have both been gearing up for the new season at a training camp in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Irish national road race champion, Matt Brammeier has recently confirmed his signing for the Asian-based Champion System team. He’s been preparing with his squad for the coming campaign with a training camp Los Angeles, California.

Philip Deignan also looks fit and is hoping to get some results in the coming season

Great to see an Irishman getting the move up to ProContinental

The Unitedhealthcare guys are riding Neil Pryde mounts this year…..

……. but not all of them have been customised quite up to scratch yet

Nice close up shot of Brammeier’s new Irish champ’s jersey; taken at his new Champion System team’s press launch and training camp in LA

Out on the road in LA

Looking good, but the team’s orange bar tape may be a step too far.

Brammeier chats to some fans on a public ride laid on at the team’s training camp in LA

No gloves in the middle of January; nice work if you can get it….

The team weaves along the coast getting the miles in

Champion System have really embraced designing the kit of their Irish champion
