2025 Rás Tailteann: preview
Here’s our whistle-stop preview of the 70th Rás Tailteann (21-25 May 2025): five stages, 706 km and a whole lot of unpredictability. Expect a sprinter’s scramble out of Drogheda, GC fireworks on Windy Gap and Wolftrap, and a fast-and-fraught Bective finale where the George Plant trophy will finally find its owner. Defending champ Dom Jackson headlines an eight-team British line-up backed by track-powered GB talent, while the lone UCI squad, Team Skyline, and 16 fired-up Irish teams aim to keep the prize on home soil.
Four final British teams confirmed – Britain’s Rás Tailteann contingent swells to nine

Foran CT, Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli, Primera–TeamJobs and Team PB Performance are the last of the British outfits to have their paperwork rubber-stamped, completing a huge nine-team British entry for Ireland’s five-stage, 760-kilometre showpiece.
