A dispute has emerged over the accuracy of the times at the National Time Trial Championships in Cong, Co Mayo, at the weekend.
Yesterday the junior and A3 road races were held, with Jake Gray (NRPT) and Ciara Doogan (UCD-FitzCycles) taking gold.
But before that action got underway, the junior and Masters categories competed on Saturday for the their respective Irish TT titles.
There were five contests in all on Saturday; Masters 40, Masters 50 and Masters 60 and separate men’s and women’s junior TT title races.
Stickybottle understands the dispute over timing has arisen in the Masters 40 event, with some of those racing believing the times they were credited with were not accurate.

He was unaware of any such appealing having been lodged, as yet.
