Daire Feeley has won the final stage of Rás Mhaigh Eo, claiming the victory today in the race leader’s jersey.
The Roscommon rider took the race lead
in yesterday afternoon’s stage 2 TT after he and EvoPro Racing team mate
Mitchell McLaughlin had attacked the breakaway during the morning stage and
gained time on it.
While McLaughlin won that opening stage from Feeley, the afternoon TT yesterday saw McLaughlin lose time and so Feeley moved into the race lead. And today on the final stage of the two-day race Feeley defended the race lead in the best possible way, by winning the stage.
The 108km stage, starting and finishing in Westport, came down to a sprint from a reduced peloton, with Feely winning from Conor Murnane (UCD Cycling Club) and yesterday’s TT winner, Dean Harvey (Spellman Dublin Port).
As most of the well-placed general classification
men were in the 25-rider front group today, there were no major changes in the
overall; Feeley running out the overall winner from team mate McLoughlin by 18
seconds. Joel Luke of UCD Cycling Club rounded out the final podium, some 56
seconds down on Feeley.
Maeve Gallagher, the international triathlete competing for Castlebar CC, won the women’s category while the climbers’ classification went to Conor Kissane (Killarney CC).
