Adam Leibovitz USA Keeps Yellow Jersey

Try riding on these

Stage 2 was a tough 130 km. The USA Director, Ben Sharp said this on twitter: "i just rode 50km of today's stage. it's difficult, all up and down, open cross wind and descent on cobbles. i know the team are up for it."

There were several crashes and a few dropouts, 174 cyclists completed this stage. The boys worked hard and barely kept the yellow jersey by 3 seconds. Hope they slept well last night and are prepared for a hard ride today. All of Belgium teams will be working double hard to ensure that we don't win. This racing is much more difficult than in the U.S. Well, how can I say that, I am not the one doing it. We will have to ask Connor that question. We were talking to some parents from Great Britian yesterday and she shed some light on a few things. We learned that this race is hightly competitive and is by invitation only. She said these are some of the best junior racers in Europe. Her son was in 2nd place and on the podium with Adam after the Prologue. It is fun to see the fans come out in these small towns. Connor did well, he came in 25th place today, which was (the 1st of the U.S. team) but the other boys on our team were close behind. His level of fitness amazes me. Stay tuned, today is stage 3. Anything could happen in this final stage.
