Wetterhall in yellow for Seskin showdown
Watterhall, who was a mountain bike racer in Sweden for 11 years before taking up road racing, arrived in Tipperary Town yesterday in a 20-man group that was allowed to dominate 105.9 mile stage from Oughterard as Dan Craven in the yellow jersey and his powerful Rapha Condor Sharp watched from afar.
In fact, the leaders were seven minutes and 10 seconds clear when the multi-medalled track star and two-time winner of the race, Chris Newton, went back to Craven to discuss the situation.
