Team Pearl Izumi - Smith

 Day 2 in the desert looked like it really took its toll on the race. Of the 10 that started, 3 dropped leaving 7 left to endure the heat. With the temperatures reaching 100 degress, Allen Belshaw took Stage 2 (39 miles) in 5:08. Scott came in at 5:28. The next runner came across in 8:13. After Stage 2 it appears it may be a 2 person race. Scott sits 19 minutes back. Go get em Fast Eddy.
