As part of the partnership, the company will supply a fleet of cars and vans to operate within the race convoy, ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of the event across five days of elite competition. The 19th edition of the race begins in Kilkenny on Wednesday, 3rd September, opening with a 76.1km stage from Kilkenny City to Freshford before covering more than 400km of demanding racing terrain throughout the week.

The 2025 line-up includes Olympians, track specialists, criterium riders and climbers, underlining the calibre and international reputation of the event.
