NEWTON’S RAS
Great Britain's Chris Newton won the FBD Irish Milk Ras after finishing
comfortably in the leading group at the end of Sunday’s circuit race
in Dublin’s famous Phoenix Park.
Newton had led the race since Thursday night and two outstanding performances
by his team helped him to protect a slander advantage of 5 seconds through
mountainous stages on Friday and Saturday. The final 40km stage presented
relatively few problems as the GB Team kept tabs on all the major threats
and shepherded Newton safely to the finish.
The final stage went to Adam Hodges Myerson, of Team Sportsbook.com in
a sprint from resurgent veteran Malcolm Elliott, who had an excellent
week himself and will be looking to use the form he will have gained over
the last few days to continue his good run of results back in the UK.Runner
up overall was Swede Tobias Lergard of the Bianchi Scandinavia team, whilst
Dane Ari Hojgaard was third. The Life Repair duo of Mark Lovatt and John
Tanner have had an excellent week and finished fourth and fifth respectively.
They also had the pleasure of watching their team-mate Kevin Dawson win
a stage.
For Newton and the GB team, the win marks the end of a deliberately low-key
start to the season. With the Olympics next year, they have long-term
goals on their minds and it is not surprising that they have taken their
time to get into their stride in 2003. For the record, this was the teams
second win in the race in three years, following Paul Manning’s win
in 2001. It also maintains their excellent recent record of winning stage
races at this level.
GB Team Manager John Herety spoke to us after the race:
"We got the job done today without any problems. Given the current
fitness levels of the team it was a really good result. Tactically it
was one of our best wins. I think the team rode astutely in the opening
days and we seemed to get most of the important choices right. It was
also a strong team performance with Paul, Steve and Kieran all making
important contributions."
The GB Team now have a week of rest followed by a training camp in Switzerland,
where they will mix road work and some track time.
