After a solid season with the team in 2012, Sam Bennett, Ronan McLaughlin and Seán Downey have been confirmed as extending their contracts with the An Post Grant Thornton Sean Kelly squad.

The Irish trio join with the previously-confirmed newcomer Jack Wilson, making four Irish riders on the Belgium-based team for 2013, while there is a possibility that more could come on board later next year as stagiaires.

“It’s fantastic that Ronan, Sam and Seán have committed to the team for another year,” said general manager Kurt Bogaerts.
