Philip Finegan a dévoilé le team Junior « Nicolas Roche Performance » à Dublin. Le team est composé, bien sûr, de jeunes coureurs juniors et seront encadrés par Philip Finega, Barry Sutton et Padraic Quinn. Ils iront sur les routes irlandaises, anglaises, française… Il s’agit surtout d’apprendre à ces jeunes champions le monde du cyclisme de façon plus encadré, apprendre le vélo mais aussi suivre une scolarité la plus longue possible dans une équipe sport étude. On les verra sur les routes bretonnes cette année se mesurer leurs cousins Bretons.
Le Team, dont le parrain est Nicolas Roche, sera présentée a Dublin mi-avril.
