Teggart takes stage win as Dunbar retains yellow

Eddie Dunbar is still in the race leader’s yellow jersey after stage three of the Stena Ireland International Junior Tour yesterday was won by Matthew Teggart of the Nicolas Roche Performance Team.

Teggart just edged out Stephen Shanahan (Irish National Team) and Jonathen Brown (Hot Tubes) but as Dunbar finished in the same time he still holds a handsome lead of almost three minutes at the top of the General Classification after his solo win by that margin the day before.

The 122-kilometre stage was a really testing one with four categorised climbs (including the first category one climb of the race at Corkscrew Hill) and took the riders in a north easterly direction from Ennis to Barefield, Gort, Lisdoonvarna, Doolin, the Cliffs of Moher, Liscannor, Lahinch to the finish in Ennistymon.
