The National Road Championships set to take place in Co Limerick this week will be televised by RTÉ Sport in the form of a highlights package.
It’s a major coup for race director Liam Collins and his
Newcastle West Wheelers team and for Cycling Ireland.
The TT title races will take place this Thursday, with
the road races – including elite men’s and women’s events – set to take place
at the weekend.
RTÉ Sport will be there with their cameras and a
highlights package will be broadcast on RTÉ2 at 7pm next Monday.
Cycling Ireland’s marketing and communications manager, Scott
Graham, said the national governing body was looking forward to the
championships and the TV highlights package.
“We are delighted to bring the Cycling Ireland National
Road Championships to a national audience with the support of RTÉ,” he said.
