Stage 7, Dé Sathairn 28ú Bealtaine / Saturday 28th May.
Tramore - Kildare 161 kms.
More edgy racing is guaranteed on the penultimate stage between Tramore and Kildare, with the 157 kilometres taking in the category two slopes of Brown Mountain plus the category one climb of Clogrennane.
It is continuously up and down, and could provoke a change in the race leadership heading into the final day.
