Great Britain team rider Paul Manning today entered the history books when he became the first ever English winner of the FBD Milk Rás. Manning successfully completed the concluding 1 hour criterium race in Dublin's City Centre without mishap, with his team mates successfully neutralising any attacks. The 26 year old finished in the same time as stage winner David Kopp of the Deutsche Telecom team, who was a length clear of Sweden's Niclas Ekstrom and former South African national champion Malcom Lange.

The one hour street race, based on O'Connel street and watched by a large crowd, was defined by many attacks although with the Great Britain and German teams controlling the pursuit there was little chance of success. One to try was last year's champion Julian Winn of Wales, who together with Lange established a ten second lead which was eventually reeled in. Efforts by Neil McDonald (South Africa HSBC) and former race leader Dirk Reichl (Deutsche Telecom), plus a solo move by Irishman David McCann were similarly short-lived, although McCann did manange to collect the third Cycleways prime before being swallowed up. Fellow Ireland-Shannon Oaks Hotel rider Aidan Duff then went clear with Switzerland GS Ficonseils competitor Erik Saunders, but were passed by Mayo Connacht Gold's David O'Loughlin who led for two laps.

However, with David Kopp resplendent in the green jersey and confident about his chances, the 22 year old's well-drilled Deutsche Telecom squad went to the front and worked smoothly to guarantee both a bunch finish and his second stage win of the race. All to the satisfaction of Manning, who finished safely in the same time as all his major rivals and secured that historic victory. David O'Loughlin was best Irishman in 8th overall, with part time cyclist Paul Griffin finishing an impressive 9th. Last year's top home rider, Paddy Moriaty, was next in 14th, while the Ireland Shannon Oaks riders were, somewhat surprisingly, further behind.

Of the other classifications, Kopp took the points competition while Niclas Ekstrom's exploits yesterday ensured his victory in the mountains ranking. Poland Legia were the most consistent of the international teams, while Carlow Dan Morrissey were clear winners in the Irish county team competition. They finished over 17 minutes clear of second-placed Dublin Skip Hire. German rider Christian Knees won the new Irish Sports Council sponsored under 23 classification, while Kerry's Matthew Slattery was a dominant winner in the race for best second category rider.
