The National Track Championships - for senior riders - are on this weekend and they will be live streamed after Cycling Ireland has signed up a new national media partner in the shape of the Irish Independent

The National Track Championships set for Dublin this weekend will be live-streamed online after Cycling Ireland has signed a new deal with media partner Irish Independent.

The championships will be streamed on Cycling Ireland’s Facebook and YouTube channels and on the Irish Independent’s website.

The championships get underway on Saturday, with the
action kicking off on Saturday and Sunday morning from 9.30am on the Sundrive
Road velodrome in Dublin. The team pursuit races take place on Monday evening.

The Irish Independent’s involvement, in a new deal with
Cycling Ireland, should bring the championships to a bigger audience. The
newspaper already covers professional cycling, mainly with the Grand Tour
diaries of Nicolas Roche.

All of the track racing – weather permitting as the track
is outdoors – will be streamed over the three days, with live commentary.

Eurosport commentator Declan Quigley and two-time Irish
track Olympian Shannon McCurley will commentate on events and also conduct
interviews with riders through the weekend.

You can watch live on Cycling Ireland YouTube and Facebook or at Independent.ie/Sport
