Stevie O’Hagan is starting to show glimpses of the old form that took him to the World Masters Championships a few seasons ago.  A time of 50:41 in tonight’s 20 mile TT was enough to deny time-trial specialist Kevin McAlinden by just six seconds.  Rounding off the top three Gareth Rogers was just 33 seconds of the winning time.

In the 10 mile TT Matt Adair produced another good time of 24:54, but full credit for perseverance by Michael Larkin who stopped to fix two punctures before finishing the course.
