Anthony admits he was totally wrong about “just fun rides” after L’Étape Prague—fully closed roads, Tour-style crowds, and a front group that races.

Now he’s prepping for L’Étape Ireland on Sunday 28 September 2025 in Carrick-on-Suir, sharing how he’ll train, fuel, and recover; the logistics he won’t skip; and the gearing he’ll run for the steep stuff.

The route offers two options: 150km/1,932m or 94km/1,314m, with timed KOMs on Ticincor and Seskin Hill, a sprint section, 80% closed roads, and 3/2 feed zones—all start/finish in Sean Kelly country. Expect practical checklists (pre-ride nutrition, bottle strategy, spares, and bike maintenance), plus stories from riding Sean Kelly’s home roads and what Prague taught him about pacing and staying in the wheels.
