TheTour of Ireland 2009 is is Lance Armstrong's first professional race in Ireland since 1992.
The 576km/358 mile race is considered "short" if your driver's license says "Armstrong, Lance".

The Tour of Ireland covers 576km in three stages and ends in Cork on Sunday.
"It's not a very hard race and so it's a good way for him to bow out," added Bruyneel.
