Keith Walsh (Greenmount CA) was joined first by Barry Meade and then Daniel Lynch (both OLeary Stone Kanturk), and the trio built a lead over the entire field. Tralee Manor West duo Shane Fleming and Vinny OLeary made a great effort to chase but could not match the pace of the front three. Lynch, who was looking very strong, shipped a chain with a lap to go, leaving two to fight it out for victory. Walsh repeated his win of last year, narrowly beating Meade in the sprint.PosRiderClubTime / Gap1Keith WalshGreenmount CA43:11.12Barry MeadeOLeary Stone Kanturk0.1s3Daniel LynchOLeary Stone Kanturk12.0s4Vinny OLearyTralee Manor West BC1 lap5Shane FlemingTralee Manor West BC6Alan BrigdaleBurren Cycling Club7Joseph DonworthGreenmount CA8Sean ConroyGreenmount CA9Risteard ODomhnaillGaeltacht.cc10Keith HynesTuam Cycling ClubElite Mens Race 7.30pm, 42 lapsThe main event, run over 55 minutes plus 5 laps. Paul Kennedy (Burren CC) led the race from start to finish, building a lead in the first few laps with young teammate Philip OConnor bridging across to join him. The pair worked well together. Junior rider John OMahony (Newcastle West CC) and Arnaud Dumoulin (OLeary Stone Kanturk) both worked hard to close the gap at the front of a five-man chase group.After 20 minutes, Kennedy left OConnor and set off to lap the field. OMahony later broke clear of the chase group and bridged up to OConnor; the two worked well together and also lapped the field. Kennedy, consistently riding laps of 1:26, won with a lap to spare, with OConnor taking the sprint for 2nd. Behind, Liam Kilkenny (Galway Bay CC) came through to win the battle for 4th from Dumoulin, Ben OKeeffe (Newcastle West CC) and Daniel Bresnan (Greenmount CA).PosRiderClubTime / Gap1Paul KennedyBurren Cycling Club1:02:54.52Philip OConnorBurren Cycling Club1:113John OMahonyNewcastle West CC1:124Liam KilkennyGalway Bay CC2 laps5Arnaud DumoulinOLeary Stone Kanturk6Ben OKeeffeNewcastle West CC7Daniel BresnanGreenmount CA8Shane DonohueAthy Wheelers CC9James CrowleyBandon Cycling Club10Dean OBrienBlarney Cycling Club11Dillon LynchKildorrery Cycling ClubWith thanksA massive thanks to everyone who made this race possible.
