Glenn O’Shea will transfer from Australian Continental Team Budget Forklifts to ONE Pro Cycling as the team prepare for 2016.

 

The twenty six year old is currently a member of the Australian Team Pursuit squad and boasts exceptional talent both on the track and the road. An Olympic hopeful, O’Shea has a number of impressive results against his name including World Champion in the Omnium and two-time World Champion and Commonwealth Games gold Medallist in the Team Pursuit.

 

As well as his talent on the track O’Shea has also shown strong potential on the road, winning a stage of the 2013 Ronde de i’Oise finishing third in the general classification and an impressive eighth overall in the 2014 Herald Sun Tour.

 

‘I'm really excited to be joining ONE Pro Cycling for 2016. I have followed the teams’ progression closely after meeting Matt Prior at the start of the year and have been really impressed by what they’ve accomplished in just their first season. I really believe that the team is a perfect fit for me and will help me combine my ambitions on the road with my goals at the 2016 Olympic games in Rio,’ said O’Shea.

 

Matt Prior CEO of ONE Pro Cycling said, ‘I would like to welcome Glenn to the team. We are incredibly lucky to have another motivated and driven individual to add to our roster. We’re looking forward to an exciting season and I believe Glenn will lend himself nicely to our performances on the road in 2016.’

 

Steve Benton, Performance Director added, ‘We are delighted to have Glenn join ONE Pro Cycling for what will be an incredibly exciting year. A dynamic and talented cyclist he will be an excellent asset as a competitor and great role model for our younger riders.’

 

Fans and spectators will have a chance to watch the Australian in action on the track this week as he takes part in the London Six-Day at Lee Valley velodrome in Stratford. O’Shea is the penultimate rider to be added to ONE Pro Cycling’s roster for 2016 with the final new signing to be revealed in the next few days.
