Publicising another of the main classification sponsors for the 2022 edition of An Rás.

Cáirde Rás Tailteann announces the addition of City Break Apartments as the sponsor of the coveted points classification jersey, for the 2022 race.

Race Director Gerard Campbell noted “Cáirde Rás Tailteann is exceptionally happy that City Break Apartments have joined forces with us to support and sponsor the prestigious points classification, a competition that reflects consistency of individual stage performance every day of the event”

The protagonists and animators of daily stage finishes, in particular the sprinters that compete for and chase this classification in An Rás often become household names on the world stage. Just think of our own Sam Bennett, John Degenkolb, Mark Cavendish who have all gone on to dominate as sprinters on the world stage. Winning the same classifications in the most famous of them all, Le Tour de France.

Philip Cassidy from City Break Apartments, himself a twice winner of An Rás Tailteann in the 1980s and 1990s in announcing their sponsorship of the points classification said “he was delighted to be in a position to help Cáirde Rás Tailteann put the iconic event back on the road” adding “that he owes the Rás more than he could ever repay”
