Evans still seems to be in the lead after SS2 Updated 11.47hrs
It seems to be that we now have times coming through and Evans is still leading but the big gain on SS2 is the defending champion, James Stafford. Evans has increased the lead to 3.3″ over Daniel Cronin with an identical difference back to Josh Moffett. James Stafford has now jumped up to 4th 20″ back from Moffett and just over 26″ back from the leader. Ed O’Callaghan is next man on the leaderboard with Craig Breen following him. David Kelly, Steve Wood, Enda O’Brien and Richard Moore complete the top 10. If you look at the times showing now for the 1st stage, they seem to be corrected now to show that the gremlins seem to be rectified and now the timing seems to be running smoothly.
