    Wow how fast did those guys go though, blink and you'd miss it.
    Great atmosphere, the race organisers were giving out free green t-shirts to wear while cheering on the racers.
    There was a annunciator there on the loudspeaker that came from somewhere very far southwesht is all i'm saying, great craic!

    Heres the sprint for points outside the post office, I nearly missed it, dunno how they decided first from second :-

    that looks a LOT better supported than what I saw. I didn't get a green tshirt :(
    Actually I was very disappointed with the start to be honest, thought there'd be much more action around it.

    There was a lovely village feel there, they even let the school kids out to cheer for the cyclists and boy did they cheer, it really was very enjoyable.
