Jason Prendergast has underlined his class with victory in the time trial stage in Mayo this morning, though Ronan Killeen and his Lucan CRC are in the driving set on the general classification.
After winning yesterday's opening stage of Rás Mhaigh Eo, Derek Burke (Seeng.ie) could only manage 46th in this morning's 8km time trial stage, losing 2:08 to winner Jason Prendergast (Liquidworx Fitscience).
He charged down the course in a time of 12:08, some 11 seconds faster than Tom Blennerhassett of Orwell Wheelers, with David Brody of Castlebar CC coming home in third place, a further three seconds adrift.
With a four man escape yesterday pulling 1:46 out of the bunch, eyes were always going to be on those breakaway men in this morning's test to assess where overall honours might go when the race was due to finish later today, Sunday, with a road stage.

And while none of the quartet could manage a top 10 placing, Ronan Killeen of Lucan CRC came home in 12th place, some 43 seconds down on the victorious Prendergast.
That was enough to see him lift the yellow jersey from the shoulders if Tuam man Burke. Killeen now leads going into the final stage by just three seconds from Bill Delaney of South Dublin CC, who was also in yesterday's escape. In third place overall is Killeen's team mate Mark Reilly.
He is exactly one minute off the lead, after coming in on his own yesterday 1:28 down the breakaway but a vital 18 seconds clear of the bunch.
Today's stage winner Prendergast is in fourth place overall at 1:03 and with just two minutes covering the top 15 the overall honours are far from settled, though Lucan CRC looks to have a strong and organised team in their bid to win the race overall.
