Well done again to the lads for getting selected and here's hoping for some results. Philip and Aaron were in the group sprinting for 10th the last time and the whole team was by no means out of their depth.

Bleeding hell - the Irish got wiped out !!

I wonder what a certain boards poster has to say now about a certain rider !?!? :rolleyes:

Thats a bit harsh, wiped out? not if your reading the same result sheet you posted.

Two riders in 36th and 37th 1 min 6 sec off the winning time.

Two more at 84th and 87th 6min 22 down.

Fifth rider at 22mins and one non finisher.

I wouldnt consider that a wipeout. Lots of good caliber riders we hear as hopefuls of the future slotted in around those finishing places from GB, Australia and Ukraine teams.

Let the air out of your tyres and give the lads a break. Good to see development teams being placed in races where they can show their talent.

The DNF on stage one was injured. Bit of a wipeout on stage 2 all right !!!

Anybody know or got link to report why 1/3 of the riders on stage 2 DNF?

id hazzard a guess that the main peleton finished containing the irish riders but was outside the time limit.

It happens!!!
