With just two former winners on the start-list, shorter stages than previous years and a record number of junior riders, this year's Kerry Group Rás Mumhan promises to be one of the most open and exciting in recent memory.

Conor Hennebry (Team Dan Morrissey/Pactimo) was victorious in 2018 while Mark Dowling (All Human - Velo Revolution Racing Team) won the 2014 edition and they come into the race as part of two very strong teams.
