Stage 3 departs from Mitchelstown and, while shorter and less mountainous on paper, history has shown that these are often the days that can turn the general classification upside down.
The route features mostly flat roads on a twisting and technical circuit, with just two Category 3 climbs along the way. However, the final challenge comes in the closing kilometre, with an uphill finish into Enniscorthy.
Seconds gained or lost here could prove vital,and it is safe to say the final 3KM rule will not apply on this stage.
Enniscorthy has hosted many dramatic stage finishes over the years and 2026 promises to be no different.
