W H A T I S "S E T A N T A"?
Setanta is the name of a mythological hero from Irish folklore. As the stories go, Setanta was the son of a god, who defended the province of Ulster from an invading army single-handed. Setanta is said to have been capable of super-human feats of strength, an attribute that Team Setanta strives to emulate on the bike in each race.
Team Setanta was started over twenty years ago by four Irish riders, who named the team after the Irish folk hero, and while the composition of the team has changed over the years, the team today still maintains its original name.
