Tour of Gila Stage Two in the books

Tour of Gila stage two is in the books and it turned into a hard, windy 80 mile day in the saddle. The Trek-LIVESTRONG U23 team rode strong today, with Jesse Sergent being the top finisher. Ben King (AUS) put in a tremendous effort, going off the front early on and stayed away for over 40 miles. Alex Dowsett rode a strong smart race, to keep a grasp on the green sprinters jersey for another day. Tomorrow brings the individual TT, which should prove to shake up the GC. Below are a few images from the day, if you want more go check out the gallery

Until tomorrow…

The Team

Welcome to the Trek-LIVESTRONG pro-continental cycling team, designed specifically for Under-23 riders. Created by Lance Armstrong as a project to develop the next generation of elite cyclists in 2009, the team continues to feature up-and coming-talent from around the world, including junior world record holder Dale Parker (AUS) and national champions Nathan Brown (USA) and Michael Vink (NZL).
