Marcus Christie wins stage 2 TT in Tour of North; Fraser Duncan loses yellow jersey

Marcus Christie has won the morning stage 2 time trial at the Tour of the North, and while yellow jersey overnight Fraser Duncan put up a very good ride for 6th, he loses the overall lead to Giordana's James Gullen by 11 seconds. Gullen was the only rider to finish on the same time as Duncan on yesterday's opening road stage. It means the battle lines are now drawn for this afternoon's and tomorrow's road stages between Giordana and Duncan's Dave Kane-Northern CC. The latter's Mark Kane did not start this morning's test.
