    rte will probably have a programme being shown on sunday evening for 30 minutes as they have in previous years, summarising the whole week, and making whats a massive achievement for even the best riders look like a leisurely fun cycle around ireland.
    No point in complaining to RTE, they don't make the program. They just show it (for a fee). I think the program is made by TeleGael.

    Hi Folks
    Anyone know what rough times they are due in Mallow tomorrow - heading Lim to Cork and would love to get it in. No sign of expected times on the site?

    Slan.

    I'm a big fan of the Rapha Condor team's kit, but that's possibly due to me lusting after some Rapha kit...

    Ta . Caught them perfectly. Good to see the boys in Green in front trying to reel the breakaway back. Very few people out though in Mallow. As I said earlier not very well promoted IMO.

    I was going to take a spin up along the coast from the city centre up towards ballbriggan tomorrow but I see the RAS is finishing in skerries. I know they're starting from roundwood and circling around to Skerries but just want to avoid any spectators / traffic. Any idea what time they'll be finishing at? Would like to leave early and be on my way back before any crowds start to gather. What roads will be unavailable at what times?

    It's starting in Newbridge and should reach Skerries around 3pm.
