2nd Tour of Ulster coming up

The Tour of Ulster in Ireland will take place for a second year on Bank Holiday weekend, from Saturday, May 3 to Monday, May 5, 2008 in the Omagh District. The race has returned to the County town of Tyrone, Omagh mainly due to the huge success of last year's event, which was based within the wider Omagh District Council area.

The 2008 event will follow a race format of four stages over three days, a 55 mile road stage followed by a 2.3 mile time trial on Saturday evening, a 69 mile road stage on Sunday and finally finishing with a 73 mile road stage on Monday.
