Good luck to all the county riders and especially all the boardsies racing it! Stay upright and rip the legs off them those pros!

Leader's jersey is a bit... eh... divisive.

A bit more originality could have been put into its design.

CI is an all Ireland organisation though, if it were like the soccer then you'd say fair enough, this seems a bit off though.

I wouldn't mind a wee border, but to cut it off completely seems odd.

Could be. Tried to make it out but can't see anything in that pic.

They've handed over Donegal too - can't tell from there whether Monaghan and Cavan have snuck in though.

Ulster is in yellow. It's there on all the other jerseys.

Yellow on yellow... I'm sure it made sense at some point and for some reason.

Not sure if you need a Facebook account to viewbut this is a link to an album of some photos at the KOM on Loughcrew today. The first few shots are the bunch climbing Dervor on the R147 (old N3) between Kells and Virginia.

Here's a video I took of a slight climb (Piggery hill) in Multyfarnham yesterday. This was the front group that came through. Some of the guys in the last group looked fairly sore from a crash.
