Polygon Sweet Nice has been confirmed UCI Continental Status under the Irish Cycling Federation. PSN is an Indonesian based team in operation since 1999 racing primarily the Asian Circuit. For the 2013 season, they are registered as an Irish team with five Irish riders, namely Daniel Clifford, Mark Dowling, Stephen Halpin, Charles Prendergast and Ryan Sherlock.
The teams main focus will remain the Asian Circuit but the recently announced UCI 2.2 AnPost Ras will rate highly in the teams objectives as well as other European races as yet to be finalized.

Quote from Ryan Sherlock:
“We had been working on putting this together for a while – it had frustrated me that there has not been an Irish Continental team for many years and when the opportunity arose, I jumped at the chance to help setup PSN as an Irish squad. PSN has been successfully racing the Asian Circuit for many years with a great setup in place – I'm really happy we can join into this established team.
We hope that this will be the first year in a great development for the team and give an opportunity for Irish riders to race at a higher level.
Cycling Ireland have been fundamental on getting this off the ground – they made the process as smooth as possible and I would personally like to thank our federation for all their time and assistance.”
