Day three is the longest of the race, clocking up a whopping 189 kilometres between Cobh and Cahirciveen. It’s also arguably the toughest; following the category three Coolavokig, the category one climbs of The Coom and Coomakista are certain to blow the field apart. The latter is just 22 kilometres from the finish and thus may play a very decisive role in determining the final winner of the race
