    Just saw the new team launched this week for Murphy & Gunn, unreal!! A 2nd pro-team in 2 months after waiting 15 years for any glimmer of hope, scanlon & co excluded of course! It was a very impressive launch, their bikes are savage, looks every bit the professinal outfit, and dare I say it, slightly more cool than the Sean Kelly squad?!!!

    Does anyone know are these lads on full pay or just expenses? Same goes for the Sean Kelly team? Its brilliant to see, can't wait for the Ras.

    Also, came accross an interesting point on cyclingnews.com, theres an italian pro cycling team registered in a small office in Stillorgan besie the stillorgan park hotel!! Strange but true!

    Saw these guys at the Bray GP on Saturday... their guy Conor Murphy won race

    I think there might some family/friends cycling for them as well as the pros.. some of them weren't great at all!

    There are 15 of the "pro" riders and then they also have a club which people can join. At the moemnt they have about 15 and apparently they are a bit selctive about who they allow in. They want people who look after their stuff and basically are professional in their putlook to the sport.

    The bonus is they get the same kit ect (excpet bikes) as the elite riders.
