Welcome to The HQ of Bank Of Ireland Pro Cycling!
We are a new entry to the MGUCI Continental division for the 2024 season. Based in the city of Cork, in Ireland , we aim to develop young talent not just from Ireland, but globally.
This team came to life after our manager (me!) discovered the ManGame and decided it would be a perfect fit for him. He then went around local businesses asking for sponsorship. After little success, he finally found a group of companies willing to sponsor this team.
Our Sponsors
Bank of Ireland
Bank of Ireland Group plc is a commercial bank operating in Ireland and is one of the traditional Big Four Irish banks. Historically the premier banking organisation in Ireland, the bank occupies a unique position in Irish banking history. They saw potential in this team and decided to make a large investment, which gives them part ownership and main sponsorship of the team. The company have an option to sell their shares in the team and completely withdraw in 2028 if the want to.
Target Country - Ireland
Contract: 2024-2028
Energia
Ireland's leading energy provider, Energia made a joint investment with the main sponsor, Bank of Ireland, the two companies agreed Bank of Ireland would be the lead sponsor. Energia have a choice to withdraw their investment by 2028 if they choose so.
Target Country - Ireland
Contract: 2024-2028

Le Col is a British cycling clothing manufacturer, they agreed to providing Bank of Ireland Pro Cycling's kit after negotiations with their competitor, Rapha, broke down.

Frame Sponsor - Factor
After Specialized and Van Rysel decided against providing BOI with bikes, we approached British company, Factor. During our visit to their factory, we were impressed with their portfolio of frames. After lengthy talks between the two sides, we finally agreed on a 3 year contract.
Target Country - United Kingdom & United States
Contract - 2024-2027
Wheel Sponsor - Black Inc

Welcome to the MG! I'm curious to see how you'll manage to grap some Irish talent with Glanvia competing. Let's hope it doesn't end in a bar fight
