Gabriel Dellar came to the Rás Mumhan expecting it might be too hard for him. He left Killorglin on Monday having won the final stage, finished sixth overall, and taken the points classification. The Ride Revolution Coaching rider who had finished third and second on successive days completed the progression with a late move that held four seconds to the line.
Behind him, Danylo Riwnyj (Foran CT) crossed safely in the peloton — the yellow jersey intact, the overall victory confirmed. Dom Jackson won the Rás Tailteann for Foran CT in 2024. Riwnyj has now won the Rás Mumhan in 2026. The team have won both of the major Irish stage races.
The final stage was a race of two halves. Three laps of a large loop brought the field back into Killorglin, where it then split into a finishing circuit — seven laps of a tight course with a dead left-hander at the bottom and an upper climb into a headwind that strung the bunch out on every pass.
Foran CT’s plan was straightforward. “The main plan for the lads was to just not let anything dangerous go up the road on the big circuit,” Riwnyj told The British Continental.
An early move of around eight riders went, but Foran kept it to 30 seconds throughout and brought it back before the finishing circuits began. From there, the race became a question of survival — Riwnyj staying towards the front, tracking moves, his teammates doing shifts to keep him safe. There was a broader understanding in the bunch that certain sprint teams, who had gone the week without a win, wanted the stage to come down to a bunch sprint. “There was some mutual agreement for it to be a sprint today,” Riwnyj said.
That agreement held until the closing laps, when Dellar chipped away with Archie Peet (O’Neills Spirit RT) and the pair built a small gap. Riwnyj watched it go. “There was no need for me to do anything about Gabe going off the front — it didn’t bother me. It wasn’t a threat to the GC. If anyone was to chase him down, it would be the sprinting teams.” Nobody did. “Gabriel was actually super strong,” Riwnyj said, with genuine admiration. Peet was dropped with a lap remaining. Dellar held his lead to the line, Riwnyj coming in with the bunch.
For O’Neills Spirit RT, manager Josh Parkin was satisfied with what the week had produced. Across four stages: eleventh in the team time trial, then fifth, sixth, sixth on the road stages, with riders in breakaways throughout. “Really solid race,” he said. “Definitely things to build on, definitely a lot to come from some of the boys.”
For Riwnyj, the overall victory carries a weight that goes beyond the result sheet. “It means so much to the team,” he said. “It’s pretty much our home race — so much of the Foran family is from County Cork and Limerick. It means so much to win it for them, considering how much investment they’ve put in over the last five years.” He described it as a personal milestone too — his best result yet, and a significant stepping stone for what he hopes to build across the British and European scene in 2026.
Curtis Neill finished second overall at 56 seconds — a result that marks him as one of the most impressive young riders of the spring — and took the U23 classification title. Nathan Levitt, 18 years old in his first Rás Mumhan, was seventh overall. Dellar was sixth and took the points classification too.
