Climbing up The Cut failed to thin out the bunch who raced to Mountrath.
Offaly's Ellen McDermott had a quality day in the saddle as the Rás na mBan raced through the midlands today.
The Team Boompods rider was best of the Irish, coming home fifth of 91 riders on stage two.
The action kicked off in Portlaoise at O'Moore Park, they crested the category one climb of The Cut in the Slieve Blooms, before finishing up in Mountrath this afternoon.
A great finish for the third stage of @RasnamBan in #Mountrath this afternoon. A fantastic crowd of spectators out to support the top class cyclists from across the world competing today 🚲 @tourism_laois #LoveLaois #Laois #rasnamban pic.twitter.com/AbYosXjXdZ
