The (b) section of the second stage is a 5 km individual time trial in Portsmouth. Unfortunately, the Irish have dropped down somewhat on overall GC after this time-trial, but they are still all within 3 minutes of Van Bon, the overall leader. Despite being classified as not finishing in the last stage, Paul Butler was in this time-trial. I'll find out why for you all tomorrow.
