Stage 3 of the 2026 Dornan Rás Mumhan delivered another decisive day of racing today, with riders facing one of the most iconic uphill finishes in Irish cycling on the ascent of the Kerryman’s Table above Millstreet.
After a fast and aggressive stage through North Cork, the race came down to the final climb where Curtis Neill of Velo Performance Racing Team produced a standout ride to claim victory with a powerful solo attack on the steep upper slopes of the ascent. Neill crossed the line 15 seconds clear of Gabriel Dellar of Ride Revolution Coaching, with Fionn Killeen of Shay Murphy Leinster Development taking third, 18 seconds behind.
The selective finish once again reshaped the overall classification, but Danylo Riwnyj of Foran Cycling Team London retained the yellow jersey after another strong performance, finishing fourth on the stage and defending his overall lead. Curtis Neill’s stage victory moves him into second place overall, now 56 seconds behind Riwnyj heading into the final day of racing.
The Kerryman’s Table has long been recognised as one of the defining climbs of the race, and today’s finale attracted strong crowds as riders battled for both stage honours and general classification positions.
Attention now turns to tomorrow’s concluding stage, where the 2026 Dornan Rás Mumhan will be decided after four demanding days of racing across Munster.
