Aiken Loses Jersey to Tim Barry
What a difference a mile and a half makes!! Earlier today the punters were predicting that with such a short time trial there would be little change in GC. How wrong they were.
The tight racing in stage one meant that there was less than two and a half minutes between the first 23 triders so every second gained in the tonight’s time trial could be significant.
Roger Aiken, riding for the Louth County Team, went into the stage wearing yellow knowing that there was nothing between him and Tim Barry of Team Aqua Blue.… Read more

The Board of Cycling Ireland has approved Belfast to Derry as a new place to place record. This will be incorporated into Chapter R1- Records, Article 1- Road Records, Point 7 in the Technical Regulations.
This was adopted as a record due to this being the year in which Derry is the UK’s City of Culture and may attract interest from some of those riders who have thought about attempting a place to place record.
