Conor Murphy (Eurocycles) enjoys the applause from the crowd as he arrives at the finish alone.
By Brian Canty
Conor Murphy (Eurocycles) powered to a brilliant win on the third stage of the Kerry Group Rás Mumhan but the day belonged to Ryan Sherlock (Iverk Produce/Carrick Wheelers) who took custody of the yellow jersey after a gruelling 142 kilometre leg around west Kerry.
When Sherlock missed his chance of a stage win on Saturday’s summit finish on the Connor Pass after being beaten by Mark Dowling, many felt his chances of claiming the overall were over for another year.
Dowling, son of legendary Irish boxer Mick, showed his class with the biggest win of his career. And with a star-studded DID Dunboyne team behind him, featuring two previous winners of this race, it was very much a case of theirs to lose.

Dowling only held a two second lead at the top of the GC on Saturday night but at least ten others were within a minute of him this morning; little wonder today’s stage was so aggressive.
“I was very annoyed I didn’t get the stage on Saturday,” said Sherlock.
“But it was extra motivation for and you have to ride this race aggressively anyway. I attacked at the start and I attacked at the end. You just have to ride a lot when you’re chasing the jersey and you’re going to take a lot of passengers with you. Everyone’s in this race for various reasons so it was about trying to get the yellow and it went to plan.”
After a few early moves, it looked like the decisive one was by Eurocycles’ rider Adam Armstrong and his solo attack on Valentia Island was maintained for upwards of 50 kilometres, ensuring he swept up most KOH points for the day.
It was on the Valentia climb that Sherlock also rode strongly, with the race splitting under the pressure he applied. The yellow jersey of Dowling punctured meaning he was chasing back on as the fireworks were going off up front just after the climb and he never saw the head of the race again.
A group of around eight riders – featuring Sherlock, Murphy and Damien Shaw – pursued the day’s early breakaway, with Armstrong by now well ahead on his own up front.
The group containing Sherlock mopped up the early escapees and finally caught Armstrong, while seven more joined them for a 16-man front group fighting it out for the win heading into the finish at Waterville.
Once Armstrong had been mopped up with around 20km to go, it was his team mate Connor Murphy who bided his time for a while before attacking and riding the final 15km alone to take a great win with the chasing group never far back.
It was a nerve-shredder for Sherlock, those final few kilometres.
“Everyone was pretty shattered towards the end,” he conceded.
“But about 10km out Denis Bakker and Colin Parry attacked and I put in a massive effort to try and bridge the gap to him. I didn’t want them going anywhere. I just stuck to them. I messed up the sprint coming in because I should have been first into the corner but I was third, I got within a half a bike length of second place which meant that Parry got a three second time bonus and I got a one second time bonus so instead of being six seconds up, I’m only four seconds up.”
Parry, riding for the Surrey League team is now second on GC with Bakker 44 seconds back in third.
Dowling said he was very disappointed to have punctured at such a hard point in the stage when the action that was unfolding was to prove so decisive.
“The lads had ridden really hard for me in the past few days so I really felt it for them too. I knew the yellow jersey was gone but I gave it everything coming in the road and really went flat out because that was what the team had done for me.”
He said he planned to be aggressive on tomorrow’s final and still believed he had a slim chance of dislodging Sherlock. Failing that, the team would work for Daniel Clifford to try and secure a sprint win for him in his home town of Killorglin.
But with 115 kilometres of racing left - three laps of a 20km loop followed by 10 laps of Killorglin - the race is anything but over.
