British Eurosport Managing Director David Kerr said, “We are very pleased to bring coverage of the Rás na mBan to our viewers for the first time. Cycling is a key sport for the channel and its continuing growth in popularity has been reflected in our successful ratings this season. We enjoyed our best ever audience for the Milan San Remo and Giro d’Italia earlier this year and we’re looking forward to broadcasting the upcoming Tour of Britain live.”
