La Ruta - Day 2

Hector Leonardo Paez (Full Dynamix) has won his second consecutive stage of La Ruta de los Conquistadores, with Jeremiah Bishop (Trek-VW) once again second and Andrei Amador (BCR Pizza Hut) repeating in third. The 67 kilometre second stage featured a long climb, followed by a rough, rock strewn 10 kilometre descent to the finish. Bishop unfortunately crashed hard in the final 5 kilometres while holding a one minute lead on Paez. Bishop finished, but was immediately taken to hospital with broken teeth and a broken nose, and will not start tomorrow. Marg Fedyna (bungalowboys.com) won her second consecutive stage to soldify her lead in the women's competition.
