We've seen plenty of aerial footage of bunch sprints in pro races. But a clip of a big bunch sprint at an Irish cycle race is rare to see.
But that's exactly what Shay Donley captured from his drone on Monday.
He was in Moy when a big peloton sprinted in to contest stage honours in the Amber Green Energy Tour of Ulster.
There had been some great action out on the road, with breakaways gaining ground only to be later caught.

The final regrouping came just before the finish. The final escape contained Robert Jon McCarthy (JLT Condor) so its recapture saw Eoin Morton (UCD-Fitzcycles) retain his leader's jersey.
And Simon Ryan sprinted in to win the stage from a big bunch gallop, captured from the skies above.
This is short and sweet but well worth a look.
