When the riders of the Giro d'Italia awake on the morning of Sunday, May 11th, they will already have Friday evening's team time trial in Belfast in their legs as well as Saturday's 218km stage 2 starting and finishing in Belfast via the Antrim coast.
Sunday's stage 3 sees the set-up move from Belfast for a start in Armagh city, from where the race heads south, crossing the border into the Republic and finishing on Merrion Sq in Dublin's south inner city.
The Irish Cycling show - effectively a cycling expo - takes place inside the square on both Saturday and Sunday all day in conjunction with the Giro. You can get details of that here. It's well worth a look, free of charge and suitable for adults and children of all ages.
Sunday's stage starts in Goal Sq in Armagh at 11.20am and heads south to Dundalk, Skerries and Lusk. It will then travel to Malahide, Clontarf and into the city centre for the finish at approximately 4pm.
Above, we have a video profile of the stage. Below we have the race schedule and locations its passing through as well as the schedule for the publicity caravan that goes head of the race. And under that we have the stage map and profile.
Here's an exact map of the last few kilometres.
