Subaru cycling team at home in the Outback

Subaru Outback

With the whole country still in the grip of cycling fever, Subaru Ireland have announced their sponsorship of the Subaru Albion cycling Development Team in next week's An Post Rás, writes Trish Whelan.

Based out of Sydney, Australia, Team Subaru Albion boasts an international squad, racing both the Australian National Road Series and abroad.

The 2014 edition of the race will start in Dunboyne on Sunday 18 May and will travel anti-clockwise around Ireland, before finishing in Skerries on Sunday, 25 May, some 1,260 kilometres later.

Team Subaru Albion will field a five-strong team, a number of whom have strong Irish roots. And the cyclists will feel all the more at home thanks to the supporting crews in the fully equipped Subaru Ireland Outbacks.
