Seesaw time for fastest stage times
I love it when you can’t predict the final destination of the winner’s trophy tomorrow evening, just as we thought it was swinging the direction of Cronin, Declan Boyle takes 2.3″ seconds back out of the gap to Cronin, also pushing 5.2″ more of a gap between himself and Michael Boyle. Gary Kiernan is matching Michael Boyle, and increasing the gap between himself and David Kelly. Desi Henry stays in 6th ahead of Brendan Cumiskey in 7th with Cal McCarthy in 8th and sure as shooting, James Stafford has risen to 9th and looks likely to catch McCarthy on the first stage after service. Jason Black rounds out the top 10.
