Lacey on mission to keep prize at home

DUTCHMAN Bram Imming has the slimmest of margins going into today’s final stage of the Kerry Group Rás Mumhan.

One second is all that separates the yellow jersey wearer from his nearest challenger, Kerryman Sean Lacey (The Edge CC), while Christian Varley (Team Isle of man) is just 27 seconds from taking the overall lead following a dramatic weekend of racing.

Wouter Haan of Team Ruiter Dakkpallen Wielerteam had led the field going into Saturday’s 130km stage around Dingle and east Kerry and was expected to mount a serious challenge having finished seventh overall last year while riding in support of his colleague Wim Botman, who finished runner-up.
