Stage 2 - April 14: Coleraine (ITT), 3.5km

Lapthorne shows his class in TT

By David Tozer

The individual time trial involved about 1.5 kilometres of flat riding and then 2.5 kilometres of climbing. The hill wasn't steep but riders needed to dose their efforts to ensure that the dreaded mushroom cloud doesn't appear three quarters of the way up the climb.

Three riders managed to complete the stage in under seven minutes. Darren Lapthorne blitzed the field in a time of 6.36, Nick Walker was next best with 6.49 and Mark O'Brien consolidated his second place overall with third best time of 6.56. Pat Shaw was able to retain the yellow jersey with a solid 7.00 flat.
