The fifth stage of the Rás was a 107 mile route taking the riders from Ballinrobe (Co. Mayo) to Sligo (Co. Sligo). The stage was quite good, and at the end it came down to a bunch sprint, which unfortuantely ended in a crash. Irishman Colm Bracken hit the barriers just feet from the finish line. Several other riders came down, with Denis Easton and Padraig Marrey sliding across the line in sixth and seventh place respectively.
The stage was won by Dutchman Harm Jansen with the Belgian Peter Van Hoof in second and Dutchman Pelle Kil in third.
The results below were done up by a program created by Irish man Séamus Shortall, whose own personal cycling site hosts
the official Rás site.
