The Kerryman’s Table above Millstreet is the kind of finish that asks a straightforward question: who has the legs? On the third day of the 2026 Dornan Rás Mumhan, Curtis Neill (Velo Performance Racing) had the clearest answer. The 19-year-old attacked from the very bottom of the climb and was never seen again. Behind him, Gabriel Dellar (Ride Revolution Coaching) recorded his second consecutive podium finish, and Danylo Riwnyj (Foran CT) came home fourth — controlled, measured, the yellow jersey intact heading into Monday’s finale in Killorglin.

Stage 3 — Millstreet to Kerryman’s Table, 119km
Foran CT set the tone early. They put two riders into the day’s break (Ollie Hucks and Nathan Levitt) while keeping Riwnyj sheltered in the bunch, and then rode the front of the peloton throughout — at one point the virtual yellow jersey was in the move, which sharpened the chasing further. Archie Peet (O’Neills Spirit RT) was also present in the break, which reached a maximum gap of around 1’30” before being caught on the Category 2 climb at Mushra. In the chase, an agreement had been made between Foran and O’Neills Spirit before they moved up: they would look after each other’s riders. When a Spirit rider punctured, the Foran team car was there to service them. “Fair play to them,” said O’Neills Spirit manager Josh Parkin. “They played a blinder today — two men in the move and protecting the yellow. Big shout out to Foran.”
A large group of around 60 arrived at the foot of the Kerryman’s Table together. Jake Hales positioned Dellar second or third wheel going into the climb. The pace was ferocious from the bottom immediately, Neill going from the gun. “That Irish lad chipped off,” Dellar said, “and that was it. We never saw him again.”
Behind him, Dellar sat on Riwnyj — who was doing most of the work. “He’s the strongest guy in the race,” Dellar said simply. Riwnyj eased on the descent, which Dellar felt may have been decisive. “I think that’s what cost us the stage probably.” When the final minute arrived, Dellar found legs he hadn’t expected and kicked clear to take second. “That’s probably my best ever result.”
Fionn Killeen (Shay Murphy Leinster Development) was third at 18 seconds; Riwnyj fourth at 27 seconds, his overnight lead intact. Felix Earth (O’Neills Spirit RT) was sixth, Josh Callaly seventh. Nathan Levitt (Foran CT) came home 16th at 1’10”, Harry Howlett (Halesowen Academy–Mapei) 17th at 1’11”, Ollie Hucks (Foran CT) 20th at 1’25”.
Max Duckworth (O’Neills Spirit RT) was disqualified after receiving outside assistance following a mechanical at the foot of the stage. Parkin acknowledged the commissaires’ decision, though he felt the support given was proportionate to the situation. “We just put him back in the race,” he said. Despite that, the day’s headline for the team remained positive — Felix Earth sixth on the stage for the second consecutive day, now 11th on the general classification.
Neill’s stage win moves him to second overall, 56 seconds behind Riwnyj, and to the top of the U23 classification. Dellar climbs to seventh on GC, level with Levitt at 2’04”. Callaly is fourth. West Frisia overtook Foran CT in the team classification, the two separated by just four seconds overall.
Dellar expects Monday to be largely controlled. “I think most teams are pretty happy with where they are.” He heads to Killorglin seventh overall and second in the points classification, with the plan for the day still undecided. Riwnyj takes a 56-second lead over Neill into the finale — enough to defend, if Foran CT can manage it as smoothly as they managed today.
