Italian champion wins Tour of Ireland
Three-time Italian national time trial champion, Marco Pinotti, has won the 2008 Tour of Ireland after a storming last stage from Killarney to Cork in glorious late summer sunshine.
It was a spectacular victory for Pinotti who came into the stage 18 seconds behind leader Russell Downing and, with only 15 kilometers to race, both riders were part of a 10-man chase group.
