Sherlock extends GC lead in Connemara with morning TT win

 

Ryan Sherlock has taken his second stage victory at the ‘Connemara Bog Week Two Day’ at Tullycross, winning the 5km TT this morning, Sunday.

The Cycleways man recorded a time of 7:08 for the short test, leaving him with 31 seconds on hand over Padraig Marrey of promoting club Western Lakes CC, with Dave Walsh of Slaney CC in third a further two seconds back.

Sherlock took the yellow jersey into this morning’s time trial after winning the stage 1 road race yesterday, when he was the only one of the A1/A2 riders to bridge across to the remains of the A3 group, which started the stage with a three-and-a-half minute handicap.

He now goes into this afternoon’s road stage with 1:01 to spare over Liam Frawley (Galway Bay CC), with Marrey a further two seconds back.
