Today’s 201 km stage includes three categorized climbs. The race ascends the 2nd category climb of Finny and then onto the pretty town of Westport via Killavally. Then the race winds its way out to Louisburgh and along the bottom of the historic mountain of Croagh Patrick. The field heads alongside Killary Harbour to Leenáun and brushes the banks of Lough Corrib and a final climb before reaching the finish line in Salthill on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the outskirts of Galway city centre.
