Philip Deignan, one of Ireland's young cycling talents, moved up to 20th overall in the Tour of Britain this evening, after a bunch finish in the 379.3km stage two ride from Leeds to Sheffield.
The Letterkenny 21-year-old is just 20 seconds off lead rider Mauricio Ardila, after the Colombian out-sprinted Quick Step-Davitamon's Nik Nuyens for the stage win, ending a gruelling four and a half hours in the saddle.
