49th FBD Milk Ras - 2.5Ireland, May 20-27, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 7 - May 26: Dungarvan - Bunclody, 171 kmManning on verge of historic FBD Milk Ras winBy Shane Stokes* Paul Manning today moved to within one stage of becoming the first Briton to ever win the FBD Milk Rás when he reclaimed the yellow jersey with a dominant display on the final road stage. Manning, who had lost the lead yesterday when he incurred a ten second time penalty, proved a point when he stormed clear of his main rivals on the first category ascent of Corrabut and opened up a decisive advantage which he maintained to the finish in Bunclody. Today's 7th stage was won by South African professional Nicholas White, who had been caught by Manning after he had earlier raced ahead with the ambition of securing the king of the mountains title. The two joined forces to cross the line over one minute clear of third placed David McCann of the Ireland Shannon Oaks team, and one minute 18 seconds ahead of the deposed race leader Christian Knees. After a controlled race all week which led in turn to arguably the closest ever leaderboard, today's mountainous stage was predicted as one which would produce large gaps in the general classification and so it proved. The action began from the start, with several big names trying to get clear of the bunch and ensuring, as yesterday, that 59 miles were covered in the first two hours of high-octane racing. However little leeway was given to the opportunist; the German team quickly and ruthlessly closed down any breakaway attempts, with the exception of a 20 mile effort by last year's third place finisher Mark Lovatt of the Southend team and Surrey's Roger Morgan. However this too was eventually negated as the riders sped towards the first passage over the finish line in Bunclody. With 6 categorised climbs lying in wait in the last 30 miles, including three category one ascents, expectation was that the tight leaderboard would finally be blown apart as the top riders endeavoured to settle matters. The first two riders in the mountains competition, Ray Clarke (Derry Classic Walls NCBI) and Nicholas White (South Africa HSBC), plus Sweden Malerengi's Jukia Heinikainen were the first to commence hostilies when they went clear on the Bunclody category 3 climb, with the latter being shelled as on the category one The Heights. But despite taking the prime at the top, Clarke lost his chance of retaining the polka-dot jersey when the South African professional pressed ahead on the remorselessly tough Corrabut Gap. Behind, even bigger dramas were taking place on the slopes when Manning exploded out of the front of a 17 man leading group and quickly closed on White. The Polish Legia duo of Sebastian Skiba and Marek Blazej set off in a futile pursuit, crossing the summit slightly ahead of riders such as McCann, Swiss GS Ficonseils duo David McKenzie and Dominique Perras, defending champion Julian Winn and Knees. Also present were Irishmen David O'Loughlin (Mayo Connacht Gold), Paddy Moriarty of Dublin Skip, Antrim UCF's Keith Gallagher and the impressive Paul Griffin, whose quiet consistency has been one of the stories of this year's race. But the day was all about Manning, clearly still smarting after his ten second penalty for taking a hand-sling during yesterday's stage. The Olympic bronze medallist showed his speed when he stormed over one minute clear of Knees, aided by the contribution of White, while McCann and Pole Jaroslaw Welniak darted clear and finished 13 seconds up on the yellow jersey group. 'I was a bit overgeared on the climbs as I only had a 21 (sprocket),' said McCann afterwards. 'But Manning was going so well today that there was no way I was going to be able to beat him. The most I could have hoped for was to stay with him on the stage - taking a minute out of him (to close his deficit) was out of the question. He deserves to win the race tomorrow - he has proved that he is the strongest.' Former professional John Herety echoed McCann's judgement, as you might expect from the GB manager. 'Paul was very strong today and things went exactly as we planned,' he said, with a broad smile. 'He has a good lead now and hopefully things will go well in the criterium.' Indeed given the nature of tomorrow afternoon's Dublin City Centre circuit race, Manning and White are virtually assured of taking the first two places overall. Mayo's David O'Loughlin is best Irishman in 8th, with Paul Griffin five seconds behind in 9th place. *Shane Stokes is a correspondent with the Irish Times, and irishcycling.com Results1 Nicholas White (RSA) Team HSBC 3.47.48 (45.02 km/h) 2 Paul Manning (GBr) Great Britain 3 David McCann (Irl) Ireland Shannon Oaks Hotel 1.05 4 Jaroslaw Welniak (Pol) Team Legia - Bazyliszek 5 Julian Winn (GBr) Wales 1.18 6 Sebastian Skiba (Pol) Team Legia - Bazyliszek 7 Jason Crookham (Can) Team Jet Fuel Coffee 8 David McKenzie (Aus) Team G.S.
