In the individual competition last months phenomenon new boy Patrick Keary seems to have gone off the boil with Neil Currie taking top spot. Reigning champ Gary is back in the lead overall followed by Siv. In a recent interview for Cycling Weekly Gary claims “Patrick had a few lucky segments last month and I think the novelty of his new bike has worn off. Normal service has now been resumed”  Lets see how things pan out in the next couple of months – sounds like the gloves are off.
