Another day and another change in the overall at the FBD Insurance RÁS. It sounded like an action packed day, with the attacks coming thick and fast. Chris Newton who was looking like a contender for the GC has fallen away and the American Danny Pate (TIAA-CREF) takes over control of the race. It’s tight though and Kristian House remains in touch with the leaders. Recycling still have a hand full ahead of them as no one seems to have given up on this race just yet.
