A scene from Sunday’s Giro in Dundalk, as captured by Fergal McCabe
More than 15,000 people turned out on the streets of Dundalk to welcome the Giro d’Italia through to the town, according to race officials.
The estimate – calculated on the turnout from the border to the Fane Bridge on the Dublin Road – means roughly one in every two people in the town were represented along the route.
The level of interest coincides with the superb backing the race received throughout the town, with businesses and homeowners decorating their premises in the build-up to the race’s arrival in Dundalk last Sunday.
