Rónán Dunne signs with Mondraker Factory Racing

Irish phenomenon puts pen to paper with newly-formed Spanish super squad.

Rónán Dunne has become the latest big name to announce that he has signed to race the 2024 UCI Downhill World Cup for Mondraker Factory Racing.

The Irishman notched a second place in Snowshoe, WV last season to confirm himself as one of the very fastest riders in the world. Dunne's name was one of the most talked about during the off-season with many insiders touting him as departing Continental Nukeproof as early as the final round of last season in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec.

Mondraker Factory Racing announced last week that they would be confirming their three-rider squad over the next seven days. Dunne joins the 2023 UCI Downhill Junior World Cup overall title holder, Ryan Pinkerton, as the second of those. The name third is to be announced in the coming days.

Don't forget to stay tuned to the website for all the latest team and rider news as we get ready to go racing at round one in Fort William, Scotland 03-05 May.
