Cycling: CC IoM to contest Rás Tailteann for third time

Manx club made its competitive debut at the Irish event in 2022

Cycling Club Isle of Man (CC IoM) will compete in a prestigious race in Ireland for the third consecutive year.

The Manx squad will take on the 2024 edition of the Rás Tailteann from 22-26 May.

Five riders - Cameron Jeffers, Michael Faid Mark Horsthuis, Marcus Christie and Corrin Leeming - form the Island team managed by Conor Davies.

At last year's meeting, CC IoM finished ninth overall and it's the competition where the outfit made its competitive debut in May 2022.

Since last taking part in the Rás Tailteann, the club made its maiden appearance on the British National Road Series in August last year.

The following month, CC IoM's women's team made its debut at the Beaumont Trophy in which Sophie Smith earned a podium finish.

More recently the club made another debut in April - this time at the Ras Mumhan in Ireland with one of the highlights being Leeming taking a top-five finish on stage stage three.
