    A real shame the nationals aren't on TV, the women's race sounded quality. RTE should be showing our national sporting events.

    Costs I would imagine are an issue. Not enough of a market to show it live. Assume that Eir will have some sort of highlights at some stage.

    Why is Philip Deignan not riding the nationals...He is not ill, injured and he comes from just over the hills....And its not like he is riding the Tour and has anything better to do

    He was in Letterkenny last weekend so why not comes this weekend and drive to Sligo ?? What the ?

    Bit off topic but folks might be interested in the British race. ITV 4 have the women's race on now followed by the men. Eurosport have the same coverage.

    Fair play to Dunne. Hopefully he'll have a big season with the Irish champs jersey

    Any channel showing highlights of the race? If memory serves, Eurosport showed highlights last year.
