Omagh Three Day 2017 stage 1 results
At the end of a tough Omagh Three Day stage 1 Peter McColgan sprinted in to take victory.
The St Tiernan's rider took a clear win in the rain at the end of 43 miles.
And while the course was undulating, with three climbers' primes, the finish came down to a sprint from a large group.
Peter McColgan darted in, with nobody in the Omagh Three Day field coming close to him. He will wear the yellow jersey into tomorrow morning's short flat TT.
He took a 10 second bonus for his stage win, with runner-up Declan McIntyre (Inspired Cycling) receiving a six second bonus.
Ralph Ginesi rounded out the podium on the night. The Newry Wheelers man was awarded four seconds for his troubles.
That puts the first three on the stage slightly ahead of those riders who finished on the same time as them this evening.
But with tomorrow's early test and two more road stages to come, there is still all to play for.
