Seems a mega attacking race

Mad race indeed!

Conor Dunne has the lead.

I'd imagine Darkglasses is on site? and able to pick up race radio?

Bingo

Right, I suppose the question is whether Roche can catch Dunne on this climb. About to come through by me

IS this the climb you were talking about ...the hard climb

Yep, it's about 30 seconds long very steep.

Will this be the last time up it? or the penultimate time?

Thanks Darkglasses and the rest of you lads on the Boards. Following this thread whilst on hols in France. Sounds riveting.

Conor Dunne!

Sounds like a great race; lots of attacking.
I wonder is it about time for a combine harvester or juggernaut or whatnot to enter the scene? Hopefully not! But for such an important event, sections of road closure should be in place. I'm not having a dig at the organizers but instead, CI should cover this. All it takes is one indignant individual to cause chaos - like the man who parked his car on the Stephen Roche GP circuit the other night and wouldn't move.

Hard to call but is that wily one-day rider Brammeier still in contention? He is never far away.

He has a lead of 40 seconds over Chris McGlinchy, and then other ten seconds to the chasing group. Roche is dangling precariously at the back of it.

Roughly 6 km fairly flat

One lap to go!

MPFGLB

Dunne now has 55 secs and 20km to go

MPFGLB

I'd say its between Dunne & Bennett now

Nah Bennett won't get back in I don't think, too far. Mullen is the only one who can catch Dunne I reckon

MPFGLB

Love to see Dunne get it as lovely fella and Aqua Blue really want it

Darkglasses

3 leaders now, Dunne Mullen and I think McGlinchy?

Darkglasses

Remaining ten riders are at 1'15

Did you see them go past you in Ferrycarrig? They closed that gap on Dunne very fast

MPFGLB

So the 3 up front are together ??

Gosh it changes fast

MPFGLB

Faster than I can type !!!

Sure does!

2 chasers have separated themselves and cut the gap to 50 seconds. Still 3 leaders together

MPFGLB

Aqua Blue reporting 4 leaders ?


(Is it that mysterious Roche rider ? )

MPFGLB

Ryan Mullen and Connor dunne and Christopher Mcglinchey leading with 25 seconds in the last 5km #roadchamps17

Darkglasses

McGlinchy and Mullen have dropped Dunne

MPFGLB

if only 25 secs to the other maybe they can get back ???

MPFGLB

Mullen up front by himself now...may have got this

MPFGLB

Dunne is still chasing seemingly...

martin.mcevoy

Mullen wins!!!
