Ballinrobe 2 day 2009 results
Home town win for Western Lakes CC
Young Constaine Bartels in his first year racing scored the biggest result of his life by winning stage 1 of the Ballinrobe 2 day.
He and 15 others made full use of their handicap to hold of the fast galloping A and B riders by only 35 seconds.
On the climbs Mick Cosgrove of South Dublin CC proved strongest and holds the jersey by 3pts from Anthony Testa from West Coast Wheelers.
The Sprint competition the stage winner holds the jersey but has to pass it over to 2nd place rider Stephen Clancy of Cycling Pursuits Limerick by virtue of him holding the Yellow jersey.
Tomorrows stages will no doubt through up more surprises with a 8k TT in the morning and a 86k rolling road stage in the afternoon.
The Ballinrobe 2 day is sponsored by Marrey Bikes and Connemara fisheries
