Manx Radio is to play a key role in an ambitious new cycling event planned in the Island next year.
The station has been confirmed exclusive broadcast partner for Cyclefest 2016 - which will take place over three days next May.
A live commentary will be mounted for the opening Pearl Izumi tour series race as well and coverage is planned for the other highlights - a mountain bike race, a hill climb on the TT course and a mass cycling event for families.
Listeners will hear all the news from the festival village at Milntown estate in Ramsey, in a series of outside broadcasts.
Manx Radio is one of a number of local firms and organisations appointed to promote Cyclefest, whose main sponsor is Isle of Man Bank.
The station's managing director Anthony Pugh says it's an exciting and unmissable opportunity for the station:
