A team who has amateur status, but certainly offers what pro continental teams do!! Aoife and her team mates are in good hands!! Follow them on https://www.facebook.com/groups/141645632662380

Aoife back to back with Maaike De Mits

Some pro teams would be jealous of such support!!

Aoife will have some great supporters while racing in Belgium, here seen with Nancy Goossens and husband Johan, well known support crew for the Irish National team! (Selfie from Johan)

The Belgian Project wishes both girls a great and safe season…you certainly will hear of them!! (photo Dany BP Media)

One of Aoife team mates this year will be Leontine Farazijn, an upcoming talented young lady, with the genes of a prolific 8th times Tour de France rider called Peter Farazijn (Ex Lotto, Telecom, Cofidis and Weinmann-Eddy Merckx) and sister of ex-pro Maxim Farazijn!!

A big thank you to Freddy Jansegers (Team mechanic) for the info sent…Freddy a big supporter of Irish Lady racing (Here seen with the King of Irish Cycling)

The 2023 Cycling Ulster CX Championship was held in Portadown yesterday (Sun 10th Dec) with awful weather to start, but improved as the day went on!! A slippy, muddy, technical and bespoked course was waiting for our brave dirt devils!! The pit crew’s had their work cut out, maybe low nrs, but a cracking day in James Wilson’s back garden!!
