The AmberGreen Tour of Ulster 2017 gets underway on Saturday. A fantastic field will assemble for this year’s showdown.
Last year’s victor Conor Hennebry is not back this time around to defend his title. He has departed for the Continent to ride for An Post-Chainreaction this season.

However, given the strength in depth in the field, Hennebry’s absence simply makes way for a new winner and will not detract from the racing.

On Saturday, stage 1 is 90km and starts and finishes in The Moy. There are six categorised climbs along the way with the cat 1 Sion Finn Mountain among them.
Sunday’s second stage is almost 160km, with another six categorised ascents. Of those, the cat 1 Spelga and the final climb at Tandragee should both be decisive.
The final stage on Bank Holiday Monday sees the riders tackle a 16km circuit seven times with a climb in The Moy each time.
In the start list, X marks each rider competing in the U22 category. There are 29 riders in the U23 ranks, of the 121 riders scheduled to start.
