leader depuis la 1 ère étape, Sam Bennett (An post chainreaction) a remporté cette après midi la dernière étape de la « Suir Valley 3 day » en Irlande. Longue de 136 km, une boucle autour de Clonmel qui est nerveuses dès le début avec de nombreuses attaques sur un parcours vallonné. Un groupe de 40 coureurs va réussir à se détache mais dans la dernière ascensions 6 hommes font le trou , Sam Bennett leader de l’épreuve prends les commandes de l’échappée et devance au sprint Paidi O’Brien qui l’avait devancé sur la 1 ère étape et Ryan Sherlock du team conti Polygon . C’est la 3 ème victoire d’étape pour Sam Bennett après les 2 autres remportées, encore au sprint sur la An Post Ras cette année.
Le meilleur junior est Danny Bruton (Nico Roche Performance Team) qui se place 38 ème au général devant son co-équipier Ryan Fintan (56 ème) qui a été victime d’ennui mécanique tout juste avant le départ de l’étape et David McCarthy (71 ème) . Pas mal pour des juniors parmi le peloton élite et professionnel.
