Credit Union Ras Mumhan 4 Day International Cycle Rage - Stage 2
Martin O'Loughlin of the Dan Morrissey Team won todays epic second stage of the Credit Union Ras Mumhan 4 Day International cycle race. The Tipperary man out sprinted his lone companion, Paul Healion (Murphy and Gunn) at the end of the 102 mile journey.
Both were part of a 21 man group that formed at the front of the race before the riders went on to do a loop of the famous Valentia Island. Conor Murphy made a solo effort at the 50 mile mark and his lead went to 1 minute 20 seconds before he was reeled in after Cahirsiveen on the way home.
O Loughlin, Healion, and the Dutch rider Ferdi Van Katwijk went clear shortly after wards, the two Irish men then dropped the Dutchman and went on to fight out the finish back in Killorglin were O Loughlin proved best.
This morning�s leader Thomas Rabou was in trouble early on and went on to lose the yellow jersey. Paul Healion is the new race leader on the same time as O Loughlin but he leads on points. Simon Saunders from the Surrey Team brought home the remainder of the leading group over 2 minutes later to claim 3rd place of the stage.
There are 2 stages tomorrow at 9am there is a 6 mile Time Trial and at 4pm there is a Criterium in Cahirsiveen.
