49th FBD Milk Ras - 2.5Ireland, May 20-27, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 5 - May 24: Killorglin - Skilbberreen, 150 kmKnees takes stage, Manning takes yellowBy Shane Stokes* With ten categorised climbs, three of which were first category ascents, today's fifth stage of the FBD Milk Rás was expected to decimate the leaderboard and finally open up gaps between the main contenders. Instead, German rider Christian Knees took the third stage win for the Deutsche Telecom team a mere seven seconds ahead of a fast finishing main bunch of riders which included the now-deposed race leader David Chassot. Swede Jukla Heinikainen, Paul Manning of Great Britain and Meath Cycleway's Eugene Moriarty finished two lengths back and had to be split into second, third and fourth by a photo finish, while 1998 national champion Ray Clarke was fifth. In Chassot's place, Olympic team pursuit bronze medallist Paul Manning now takes over at the top of the general classification, rising clear of the Swiss professional by the same margin which separated them today. On equal time to Manning, but separated by stage placings, is Knees, while best-placed Irishmen Paul Griffin (8th) and Mark Scanlon (10th) are 41 seconds in arrears with three stages remaining. Today's 93 mile run from Killorglin to Skibbereen was billed as one of the most difficult of the race, taking in the first category climbs of Ladies View, Moll's Gap and Turner's Rock in the first two hours. Former champion Phil Cassidy stuck to his determined vow to stir up the action when he broke clear at the drop of the flag, with team-mate Moriarty, Derry Classic Wall's Ray Clarke, Kerry's Denis O'Shea and HSBC pro Nicholas White equal contributors to the audacious, ambitious move. Riding smoothly together up the energy-sapping slopes, the committed quintet stubbornly resisted a number of bridging attempts by a chasing group which including Welshman Huw Pritchard and Ireland Shannon Oak's Aidan Duff, plus a later effort by defending champion Julian Winn and Tour of Italy stage winner David McKenzie. However as the miles ticked by the strain began to take its toll, with O'Shea first to fade as the riders disputed the prime at the top of the third category Aghagoohen. Cassidy was next to crack, his legs buckling on the second cat ascent of Mount Gabriel after he had given his all to try to help team-mate Moriarty take yellow. However, the fading hopes of the leading trio were boosted when they were joined by Manning, Heinikainen and Knees, the reinforcements helping them to hold off a last gasp effort by two Davids, Ireland Shannon Oak's McCann and Germany's Kopp, plus a late and determined charge by the main bunch which ate into their advantage but was unable to stop them fighting it out for the stage win. Seven seconds after Knee's jubilant arrival, the main bunch crossed the line with Telecom team-mate Kopp strengthening his grip on the green jersey by winning the sprint. Ireland Shannon Oaks rider Morgan Fox came home 9th to stay second in the points ranking, while his team mates Mark Scanlon, Tommy Evans and Aidan Duff were safely present at the back of the bunch after being involved with a crash with 5 kilometres to go. Yet the biggest drama of the day was still to come. Some 18 minutes after Knee won the stage, a shattered Cassidy crossed the line. Supported by race officials, he attempted to dismount from his sweat-soaked bicycle but slumped to the ground, where he lay in a state of exhausted collapse for a number of nerve-raking minutes. However, the courageous Meathman eventually recovered and was given the Cycleway Merit Award, ironically sponsored by his own company, by the race organisers for his bravery today. The race continues tomorrow with a 102 mile stage to Dungarvan. *Shane Stokes is a correspondent for the Irish Times, and irishcycling.com Results1 Christian Knees (Ger) Team Deutsche Telekom 3.44.52 (40.02 km/h) 2 Jukla Heinikainen (Fin) Team Malarenergi 3 Paul Manning (GBr) Great Britain 4 Eugene Moriarty (Irl) Meath Cycleways 5 Raymond Clarke (Irl) Derry Classic Wall NCBI 0.04 6 Nicholas White (RSA) Team HSBC 0.05 7 David Kopp (Ger) Team Deutsche Telekom 0.07 8 Andre Greipel (Ger) Team Deutsche Telekom 9 Morgan Fox (Irl) Ireland Shannon Oaks Hotel 10 Jason Macintyre (GBr) Velo Ecosse/Montpeliers 11 Krzysztof Zasada (Pol) Team Legia - Bazyliszek 12 Marek Blazej (Pol) Team Legia - Bazyliszek 13 Thorsten Wienenroth (Ger) Team Rg Hamburg 14 David McKenzie (Aus) Team G.S.
