BRIAN KENNEALLY from Kilkenny, a member of the Meath Myhome.ie/BDBC team claimed the glory of stage victory while German Tony Martin held onto the yellow jersey when the FBD Insurance RÁS concluded in Skerries yesterday.

MART OJAVEE (Estonia Kalev Chocolate) bounced back for a second stage win as Jesse Anthony (US Kodak Gallery) became the first man to retain the race leader’s yellow jersey when stage 4 of the FBD Insurance RÁS to Dungloe developed into another high speed chase.

NORTH American riders took custody of all the important jerseys when the FBD Insurance RÁS arrived in Sligo last evening after a 106-mile stage from Loughrea.

THE last time Mart Ojavee contested the FBD Insurance RÁS, he was supporting an Estonian team-mate.
