    It says 2008 in Sticky Bottle, but I'm pretty sure, that's wrong. It seems to me, it was longer ago that that.

    Probably the same year as he rode Ràs Mumhan on the Irish team. Pretty sure it was 2004 although it may possibly have been 2003.

    Glorious day for stage racing. Far nicer conditions than at my own maiden Gorey last year.

    Honestly ... Not really. Will do it again but it didn't matter to me for this year.

    Race stopped and subsequently cancelled at about 5 km to go due to serious RTA just ahead of race. Road blocked and riders turned back. Left when fire brigades and ambulances arrived. A small group of 5/6 had a 30/40 second gap at that stage. Guess results will be neutralised.

    Great racing up to that. Sunshine and group mostly intact after 125kms.

    I THINK that they are giving 2 riders at 12 seconds, 9 riders a further 50 seconds and the rest of the field at the same time. Nothing official yet tho.

    You're right - the article I was looking at was about a fatality in a crash in Co Wexford at 7pm

    It was 2008, the year Stephen Gallagher won, he was on the Irish team with Roger Aiken and David McCann among others.

    You're right. It seems much longer ago, than that.
    At least, it was an Olympic year.

    Some savage headwind at tt this morning, pity about the finish yesterday but what can you do, I'd say there was half the bunch left yesterday as lads were letting go everywhere on the drags. Probably 100 happy souls from yesterday's annulled bunch results,
    I'd say the cracks will show early enough today with the wind direction!

    Agreed, there will be some relieved lads from yesterday but I'd imagine if you were struggling yesterday then today will be a whole new world of pain!

    TT was crazy windy, embarassing average on a downhill 6km tt :)

    I might be wrong but I think he was only second but took the overall lead!

    Got very ropey with the rain halfway through today, lumpy windy and slippy! No chance of breaks staying away with the wind, I made it home with the bunch, Seymour still in yellow (edit: he isn't, apologies) think a Lucan lad got up in the sprint, few crashes, a young Kanturk lad looked and sounded in a world of pain after a spill.

    Edit: wasn't a bunch sprint, sorry

    Shane Baker didn't finish the stage. Ciaran Kelly did a monster time in the TT considering the brutal headwind.

    Really .. the "Bush Telegraph" was saying that someone from Lucan had taken the lead? Delighted for Robin if it's correct!

    Unless there was someone up the road but thought we were altogether, Lucan guy raised his arms at the finish line and Seymour was there within the last km anyway, a decent bunch finished together, I didn't hang around and check results though but that's what I thought happened

    The sprint or was he up the road? I saw Lucan lads celebrate straight after also so assumed they had won, I was probably hallucinating :)
