CJ O’Shea Racing has announced a new title partnership with Devon-based Redchilli Bikes and will compete as Redchilli Bikes O’Shea from 1 January 2026.
Run by Pat Hayes, the team began in 2021 and has raced under several names – AWOL O’Shea, Doltcini O’Shea and CJ O’Shea – while steadily expanding both its international race programme and the geographic spread of its roster.
The new partnership will see Redchilli supply the team with bikes and technical support as part of a minimum two-year agreement. The squad will race on Redchilli’s FR1 Team Edition model, colour-matched to a new jersey to be released later this year.

The team says it will continue to target a blended UK and European calendar, with the 2026 programme and complete roster to be announced shortly. Recent signings include two promising British juniors, Evie Smith and Grace Ward, as well as a number of international riders.
Away from racing, the team states it will maintain its work off the bike, focusing on topics such as volunteering, neurodiversity, concussion and women’s health.
