IVCA Usher Two day

Black Bull, June 1-2, 2002

Murtagh in control

By Shane Stokes

Obelisk Wheelers' Albert Murtagh is in control after two stages of the IVCA Usher 2 day at the Black Bull venue. Race sponsor Mick Usher (Usher IRC) took the opening 10 mile time trial but Murtagh seized the lead when he won the second stage, a 36 mile handicapped road race. He is over a minute clear of his closest challenger with just tomorrow's leg remaining.
