The local rider stormed clear of a hurtling bunch to take a convincing win into Callan, County Kilkenny, holding off Team Noord Holland’s Paulien Koster and DAS-Handsling’s Emma Jeffers, who crossed the line in second and third respectively.
Griffin’s victory secures the overall lead of the race, and the World Tour professional will wear the Rás na mBan Magenta jersey for tomorrow’s Stage 2.
