Stage 6 - May 25: Skibberreen - Dungarvan, 164 km

Maartens takes stage, Manning penalised and loses yellow

By Shane Stokes*

South African professional Jeremy Maartens today won the 6th stage of the FBD Milk Rás, going clear in a group with 12 miles remaining and then beating Mark Lovatt and Anthony Malarczyk to the line in Dungarvan. Mayo Connacht Gold's David O'Loughin was best of the Irish in 5th place. The stage was marked by a number of breakaways by members of the Ireland Shannon Oaks team, including a commendable ride by Mark Scanlon who rode strongly in two breakaway groups in an attempt to improve on his 10th place overall.

Scanlon's first foray came after just 5 when he went clear with 7 others, including compatriots Eugene Moriarty and Phil Cassidy of the Meath Cycleways team, who had made a remarkable recovery after his collapse of yesterday. Although this move was countered, the former world junior champion got clear once more at the 26 mile mark and was prominent at the front of the large breakaway group which established an advantage of over one minute and made him race leader on the road.

Backed by those such as Mark Lovatt, Huw Pritchard and Derry Classic Wall's Brian Ahern, and later bolstered by the reinforcement of another group of riders, the breakaway was ultimately reeled in by the combined forces of the Great Britain and Telecom teams. These also hauled back a subsequent move which featured such dangermen as Cassidy, Tommy Evans (Ireland Shannon Oaks Hotel) and Michael McNena of the Galway Telegael team.

Covering 59 miles in 2 hours, the main bunch split and regrouped several times and many of the field were jettisoned out the back of the speeding peloton. However a moment's inattention enabled others to go clear after Youghal, including Mayo Connacht Gold's David O'Loughlin, Lovatt, plus professionals Maartens and the Switzerland GS Ficonseils pairing of David McKenzie and Dominique Perras. Riding well together, the group touched speeds of over 50 miles per hour on the way into Dungarvan and resisting the frantic chase behind. With two kilometres to go, Maartens and McKenzie attacked; Lovatt scrambled up to the two, but was unable to go with Maartens when he jumped again.

'He didn't do very much work in the break,' said Lovatt. 'He was riding at the start, but towards the finish he wouldn't come through and so was fresher than the rest of us.'

However the biggest story of the stage was the time penalty incurred by race leader Paul Manning, with the ten seconds imposed on him by the race judges pushing him from first to sixth overall. The Olympic bronze medallist had been docked time after getting a hand-sling from team mate Phil West, the failed appeal leaving Germany Deutsche Telecom rider Christian Knees in the lead. 'Obviously we are disappointed but we respect the decision and we just have to get on with it,' said team manager John Herety.' We were looking forward to defending the yellow jersey in the mountains tomorrow'.

Chief commissare Gerry McDaid explained the circumstances. 'At 82 miles after the great Britain team had been driving at the head of the peloton for a long time, the Polish team attacked. West reached back to the yellow jersey and gave him a hand-sling which propelled him to the tail of the group. The commissaire Mickey Robb reported the incident and the rider has been handed a fine of 100 swiss francs and a ten second penalty.'

There was even greater disappointment for Ireland Shannon Oaks rider Morgan Fox, who was forced to retire early on today's stage due to tendonitis. Clearly upset at the finish, Fox saw his second place in the points classification disappear, and also his chance to win the race. He had been 24th overall, 53 seconds behind Manning at the start of the stage. 'I have been feeling the tendonitis for the past three or four days,' he said, 'and had been going to the race doctor about it. But it was just too painful to continue.'

The FBD Milk Rás continues tomorrow with what many regard as the hardest stage, a 106 mile epic over three category one climbs to Bunclody. The riders also face four category three ascents before their estimated 3.15 pm finish.
