The official start of the first stage was at Dundrum, about 10 kilometers from the centre of Dublin and the first serious breakaway came around 35 kilometers later. No-one could match Cavendish’s sprinting power at the end and he was followed across the line by New Zealander Julian Dean of Garmin Chipotle and Joker Bianchi’s Alexander Kristoff from Norway.
Cavendish finished the 192 kilometers stage in five hours and nine seconds.
The 2008 tour of Ireland is set to be the toughest yet, with five difficult stages over 900 kilometres from Dublin to cork.
