Unlucky Evans loses out as Newton holds lead
By Shane Stokes, Irishcycling.com
Team Ireland rider Tommy Evans went frustratingly close to landing his second stage win of the FBD Milk Rás today, losing out in a two man sprint due to a problem with his pedal. Evans bounced back from yesterday's disappointment to go on the attack twenty miles into today's stage, joining compatriots Eugene Moriarty and Ray Clarke and four foreign riders up the road during the 104 mile mountainous stage to Donegal.
As the group of race leader Chris Newton closed up towards the finish, Evans jumped clear several times and finally reached Donegal with Bianchi Scandinavia rider Jonas Holmkvist. The Belfastman looked to have the beating of the Swedish professional, but his foot slipped out of his pedal and thus enabled his opponent to take his second victory in five days.
Sixth on the stage was Evans' team-mate Ciarán Power, who took the bunch sprint and also showed that he has recovered from the disappointment of yesterday. Two places further back was Moriarty, best county rider for the fourth day in succession, while Chris Newton finished tenth and successfully defended his yellow jersey.
The day had begun with on a low note for the Team Ireland-Irish Sports Council squad when it was announced that David O'Loughlin would not be signing on for the stage. The Mayo rider had made it into the winning break yesterday but faded dramatically in the last ten miles and finished 17 minutes back. O'Loughlin had started the race as one of the big favourites but was ill on Wednesday night, losing strength, sleep and his chances of winning the event.
It might have been expected that the Irish team's morale would be at rock-bottom, but instead Tommy Evans came out fighting. He was involved in the early skirmishes and ended up going clear in a move started by the ever-aggressive Eugene Moriarty and the Kazakh Assan Bazayev twenty miles into the stage. Evans jumped across with Holmkvist and Moriarty's team-mate Ray Clarke, while Swedish professional Thomas Lovkvist and Sportsbook.com pro Josh Beck later bridged, increasing the numbers up front to seven.
Evans was best placed of the septet in ninth overall, but his deficit of five and a half minutes meant that Newton was under no immediate threat. It appeared a policy of containment rather than recapture was ordered by team manager John Herety, and so Steve Cummings and Kieran Page came to the front in order to keep the bunch pace high and prevent the lead escalating to dangerous levels.
Through the sixty-mile point of Adara, the gap had grown to two minutes and forty seconds and gave the co-operating seven a good buffer before they hit the torturous first category Glengesh. Clarke and Beck lost contact on the one-in-four hairpin bends but the other five crested the tree-fringed summit one minute and fifteen seconds clear of Newton's group.
With Power blocking behind this lead swelled once more, and by the village of Carrick, seventy four miles into the stage and twenty-nine from the finish, the quintet were over two and a half minutes clear. However this gap fell quickly when Newton's chief rivals began to attack. The Lancaster Life Repair duo Mark Lovatt and John Tanner were particularly aggressive and while their one-two surges failed to break the yellow jersey, they did bring the bunch to within twenty seconds of the leaders.
In response, Evans injected some pace by darting clear in a series of attacks. Hauled back by the break, he tried again and finally succeeded in reaching the finish with just Holmkvist for company. However any thoughts of a consolatory stage win were foiled when his foot slipped out of his pedal during the sprint, opening the way for Holmkvist to take victory number two this week.
"That was very frustrating, I think I would have got it," Evans said. "At least it is an improvement on yesterday, when nothing worked out for the team. I decided to have a go today as there was no point in us feeling sorry for ourselves, losing the jersey, and our chance of winning the race. And it nearly worked out."
Another ruing a near-miss was Eugene Moriarty, who was caught out when the pattern of attack and counter-attack split the break. "When Tommy got across to us early on in the stage I thought that we wouldn't get far but the gap went up to three minutes. That turned out to be enough at the end, but unfortunately there was a lot of jumping around and I got caught out. If it had come down to a sprint at the finish I think I would have had a decent chance. I was instead caught by Newton's group, but with the help of my team-mate Philip Finegan I was able to make my way up to the front for the sprint. That meant I got the best county rider prize for the fourth day running."
Moriarty is anticipating a hard day on tomorrow's penultimate stage, a 112 mile race to Oldcastle. This represents the last big chance for Newton's rivals to try to seize yellow, and there is likely to be flat-out, frantic racing all the way. Three riders are within half a minute of his lead; this FBD Milk Rás isn't over yet.
