As early as January 2014 the organisers of this year's race approached some local businesses for funding to ensure this prestigious sporting occasion, which would see some of the world's best riders competing on our doorstep was promoted to the best of our ability. Our title sponsors, Grange Motors Toyota Mullingar and Toyota Ireland came on board almost immediately which was not surprising as they have very kindly been supporting Lakeside Wheelers and cycle racing in Mullingar for several years and it was only fitting that this partnership continued.
