Video: Trials ace Andrei Burton tackles Giro d'Italia Northern Ireland Big Start route

You won't be seeing skills like this on the opening days of the race - well worth a watch...

Here's a cracking video from Discover Northern Ireland to get you in the mood for tonight's Big Start of the Giro d'Italia - trials ace Andrei Burton tackling some of the landmarks that will feature during the opening days of the race.

Those include the Titanic Quarter in Belfast, where tonight's opening team time trial begins, Giant's Causeway, which features in tomorrow's first road stage, and Armagh, where Stage 3 begins on Sunday before the race heads across the border to a stage finish in Dublin.

You're unlikely to see riding - or, in all likelihood weather - like this as the race heads through Northern Ireland this weekend, so sit back and enjoy.
