Alex finished just 3min 35sec down on stage winner on Seskin Hill today (thats Neil Delahaye, Ireland national squad leader in the background!)
Some Pictures from stage 6 from Gianni http://bit.ly/acLmTd and from Paul Bolger http://pix.ie/paulbolger/album/377896
Wexford 8th best county team on stage 6 and up to 11th best overall.
I can’t get off work to be on the Corrobutt tomorrow but will try and get to finish. If anyone is going to the mountain can they bring a few bottles of either energy drink or water and offer to the lads in case they need a refill. Feeding from the roadside is not allowed but tomorrow will be a difficult day for the car to get up to feed the riders so we’ll take a chance! Wexford were 10th county team on todays Seskin Hill stage 5 and are 12th county team overall.
Time Schedule http://www.fbdinsuranceras.com/event/fbdras_650.shtml Time will be close to fastest speed.
I don’t think many here use twitter but the Rás tweets have been superb. This @georgief/fbd-ras-2010 is a good list to follow. Ryan Sherlocks daily video blogs are here http://ryansherlock.blogspot.com/ Finally these might make you queasy but this is what a BH bike looks like after a 80kph impact with a 4×4 http://twitpic.com/1qpp8x and http://twitpic.com/1qprx2
