Getting to the team hotels on a Grand Tour can be a great way to see the riders, vehicles and bikes; the Giro hits Dublin tomorrow, Sunday.
The Giro d'Italia stage 3 from Armagh to Dublin tomorrow, Sunday, should be a great occasion and with the Irish Cycling Show taking place in Merrion Square right beside the finish line, there should be a great atmosphere for those who want to spend the day there.
The finish is expected just after 4pm but the Irish Cycling Show is open from 10am.
For full details on what times the peloton and the publicity caravan that goes ahead of the race are expected at each spot along the route from Armagh to Dublin - click here.
For a map of the exact route the peloton will take from the seafront in Clontarf into Dublin city centre for the finish - click here.
And for those wishing to go to the team hotels after the race to see the pros and team vehicles - and maybe get photos and autographs - find below a list of the hotels each team will be in.
The riders don't leave Ireland until very early on Monday morning so it is worth taking a spin out to the hotels after tomorrow's stage.
We've included a link to the websites of each hotel, where you should find a locator map to help you if you're not familiar with Dublin. Just click on the name of the hotel for the websites.
Some of these hotels are "airport hotels", but not all are on the airport campus. So you need to consult the map rather than jump in the car and head to the airport.
