The final stage of the 2008 FBD Insurance Rás brought the riders from Newbridge in County Kildare to Skerries in north County Dublin. In spite of a strength-sapping headwind forecast for the stage, a group of four riders went clear after less than half an hour of racing. The quartet consisted of David O’Loughlin and Cameron Jennings (Ireland Pezula Racing Team), Blazej Janiaczyk (Poland National Team) and Evan Oliphant (Britain Team Plowman Craven Team).
A brisk but steady tempo was maintained by the main group on the undulating course.
The picturesque seaside town of Skerries hosted the finish of Stage 8.
A powerful northeast wind hampered the progress of the race but was warmly welcomed by local kite surfers.
Pre-race entertainment was in full swing at the finish line and included a one rider unicycle race.
The Great Bonkini, clown sprinter extraordinaire, was cruelly robbed of certain victory. There was little the neutral service crew could do with a countersunk crank thread. Does anyone else think he looks like Laurent Fignon?
But wait, what’s this? Fresh from his stage win at the Giro d'Italia, Mark Cavendish swung by to catch the finish of Stage 8 of the FBD Insurance Rás.
David O’Loughlin (Ireland Pezula Racing Team) led the race on to the finishing circuit in Skerries with Evan Oliphant (Britain Team Plowman Craven) for company.
Cameron Jennings (Ireland Pezula Racing Team) tries to strike a balance between policing Blazej Janiaczyk (Poland National Team) and maintaining an advantage over a fast finishing peleton.
The peleton is lead onto the circuit by the Norwegian Sparbanken Vest squad who have a formidable sprinter in Morten Hegreberg and may be keen to try for a stage win.
Race leader Stephen Gallagher (Ireland – An Post – Sean Kelly Team) is safely tucked in behind Morten Hegreberg (Norway Sparbanken Vest) as the peleton go onto the final lap.
The leading duo worked steadily all the way to the finishing straight and the crowd were treated to a sprint finale. Evan Oliphant (Britain Team Plowman Craven) breaks to the right as the sprint opens in earnest with David O’Loughlin (Ireland Pezula Racing Team) holding his line and giving his all.
The Irish Road Race Champion’s strength, determination and grit brought him the ultimate reward as he outsprinted Evan Oliphant (Britain Team Plowman Craven) to take a thoroughly well deserved victory on the final stage of the 2008 Rás.
Victory at last: Stage 5 saw O’Loughlin’s high hopes of victory dashed by a puncture in the last three kilometres. The subsequent bike change resulted in his custom Irish Champion’s bike falling to the ground from the roof rack of the moving team car and being damaged beyond repair. Stage 8 was a different story entirely.
Blazej Janiaczyk (Poland National Team) slipped away from Cameron Jennings (Ireland Pezula Racing Team) to take third place on Stage 8.
