Rapha Condor Recycling.co.uk team manager John Herity has announced the team line ups for the coming Tours of Ireland and Britain.

Tour of Ireland
The seven man team for the Tour of Ireland are: Chris Newton, Kristian House, Dean Downing, Ben Greenwood, Graham Briggs, Rob Partridge and Dale Appleby. Plus Reserves Simon Holt and Ryan Bonser.

Tour of Britain
The six riders for the Tour Of Britain are: Chris Newton, Kristian House, Dean Downing, Ben Greenwood, Rob Partridge and Dale Appleby. Plus Reserves Graham Briggs, Simon Holt and Ryan Bonser

John Hertity said "We now approach the teams two big targets for 2008, I feel we have had a great season so far but these two events are what we have building towards since January.

After a long hard struggle to overcome his knee injury it looks like Ben Greenwood is coming back into form at just the right time and in Kristian House a rider who has selflessly ridden for others on numerous occasions this year I think we will see just how good a rider he is during these two stage races.

Dean comes into these races having had, if not the best, certainly the most consistent season he has ever had. Racking up the best win of his career so far taking stage two of the UCI 2.1 Saxon Tour and claiming the yellow jersey in the process. His confidence is high and he's really looking forward to both events.

Chris Newton we will just have to see how his form is after the Olympics (Competition in the track points race) you can never discount him, he is more than capable of sneaking a stage win.

Realistically we are looking to show the team on TV hoping for a stage win and if we can, get a top 10 on GC."
