It was the toughest stage of the Tour so far on the final day.  A 70-mile race through South-Down that seen Glen Kinning take the win and Ryan Connor hang onto his yellow jersey for the over all victory.  It’s the third time Connor has won the event in the past five years having previously took the overall title in 2005 and 2007.

I wasn’t at Monday’s event so do not have much of a race report but Eric was on hand to take a bunch of excellent photos.  For a more indepth race report visit the Cycling Ulster website’s review.
