Gerard McNally takes Omagh TT stage & yellow jersey from Cathal Hendron

Gerard McNally has taken this morning's TT stage of the Tour of Omagh and with it the yellow jersey

Gerard McNally (Team Superseal Windows) has put in a great effort to take the Tour of Omagh stage 3 time trial this morning, Sunday, and with it the race lead.

He has a three second lead over Cathal O'Hagan (Apollo CT) going into the final stage this afternoon; taking in some of the climbs of the Sperrin Mountains, with three climbers’ classification primes and three hot spot sprints. The race concludes on a summit finish at Gortin Glens Forest.

With just 30 seconds covering the top 30 riders and with such a lumpy stage set for this afternoon, the race is still wide open.

Because stages 1 & 2 - on Friday and yesterday respectively - ended in bunch sprints the general standings going into the concluding stage are almost completely dictated by the TT times this morning.
