Thomas Martin of Eurocycles has clearly maintained his form after a very strong An Post Rás earlier this year and is seen here on his way to 3rd place last night (Photo: Toby Watson)

Roger Aiken was the man of the Rás by a mile and though he has eased back with his racing since then, he did enough for 4th place in his home race last night (Photo: Toby Watson)

Stephen Halpin has enjoyed some wins on home roads of late, the most recent being the Seamus Kennedy Memorial in Dunboyne, Co Meath, on Sunday. But he did not make the podium last night (Photo: Toby Watson)
