Richie Maes and Lisa Stapelbroek took clear wins in the main events at the Munster Cyclocross Series round 2 in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, yesterday.
In the men's race Maes (Strata 3-VeloRevolution) got the better of Paidi O'Brien (Verge Sport PI Cycles), with Richie Barry of St Finbarr's taking 3rd.
Barry had won the Crossbars event that opened the series two weeks ago and the results from both races see him and Maes tied for the lead early in the league.
In the women's event Stapelbroek added to her growing collection of cross wins in the colours of Kenmare.
