Seth Dunwoody, who enjoyed very significant success in Europe through the 2024 season has signed for the World Tour team Bahrain Victorious' development squad.
The Irish teenager will ride his first season as an U23 in 2025 after a stellar junior career, collecting top tier results from sprints and TTs over the last 12 months.
He rode for the Cannibal B Victorious team - also part of the Bahrain Victorious network - for the last two years and now moves onto the development team for what will hopefully be another very fruitful year.
That development squad, CTF Victorious, is based and registered in Italy and competes as a UCI Continental team, having done so since 2019.
