Mathias Fränk of BMC Racing Team Claims Stage 2 of the 2013 USA Pro Challenge After Rigorous Day in the Mountains
Lachlan David Morton of Colorado-Based Team Garmin-Sharp Takes the Overall Lead Heading into Third Day of Racing
Stage 2 of the 2013 USA Pro Challenge professional cycling race took riders to extraordinary heights on the route from Aspen to Breckenridge. At 126.1 miles, the stage, which was punctuated by three Nissan King of the Mountains (KOM) competitions and two Clif Bar sprint lines, tested the riders’ strength and endurance in the mountains of Colorado. An impressive turnout of fans welcomed and cheered on the cyclists as they hit the streets of Breckenridge, where Mathias Fränk (BMC Racing Team) ultimately took home the win.

“The level of racing that we saw during today’s stage of the 2013 USA Pro Challenge shows that these guys are here to win,” said Shawn Hunter, CEO of the USA Pro Challenge. “The crowds lining the route from Aspen to Breckenridge were amazing, and the enthusiasm and support up on the mountain passes is truly a sight to see.”
Following two neutral laps around the City of Aspen under bright blue skies, the riders were off for Stage 2 of the 2013 USA Pro Challenge, which would provide a harsh introduction to the mountainous terrain of Colorado with three big Nissan King of the Mountains (KOM) competitions. After a series of unsuccessful initial attacks, Michael Schär (BMC Racing Team) finally launched one that stuck. He was soon joined by Matt Cooke (Jamis-Hagens Berman p/b Sutter Home) and Luis Lemus (Jelly Belly p/b Kenda).
The gap continued to grow as the riders climbed the familiar battleground of Independence Pass, which at 12,000 ft. is the highest point reached in any professional cycling race. The well-known, epic climb drew fans from all around the world to cheer on the riders as they suffered to the top. With enthusiastic costumed fans running alongside, Schär crested the pass first, followed by Cooke and Lemus.
Leading into the approach to the Feed Zone, hitting speeds of more than 35 mph, David Millar (Team Garmin-Sharp) and Kanstantin Siutsou (Sky Procycling) pulled away from the peloton to start the chase and eventually reached the three out front to form a break of five riders. As they zoomed through Buena Vista and crossed the first Clif Bar sprint line of the day, Lemus hit the line first, then Schär and Millar.

A little more than three hours into the race, as the course prepared to turn back uphill, the peloton hit the gas and with RadioShack Nissan Trek and Cannondale Pro Cycling leading the way, they began to close the gap, eventually swallowing up the break. Soon after though a new break was formed with 13 riders pulling away, including:
• Rohan Dennis (Aus) Team Garmin-Sharp
• Lachlan David Morton (USA) Team Garmin-Sharp
• Joshua Edmondson (GBr) Sky Procycling
• Andy Schleck (Lux) RadioShack Leopard Trek
• Tiago Machado (Por) RadioShack Leopard Trek
• Mathias Fränk (Sui) BMC Racing Team
• Greg Van Avermaet (BEL) BMC Racing Team
• Bruno Pires (Por) Team Saxo-Tinkoff
• Davide Villella (Ita) Cannondale Pro Cycling
• Chad Beyer (USA) Champion System Pro Cycling Team
• Christopher Jones (USA) UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team
• Phil Gaimon (USA) Bissell Pro Cycling
• Lawson Craddock (USA) Bontrager Cycling Team
• Tyler Wren (USA) Jamis-Hagens Berman p/b Sutter Home
• Jesse Anthony (USA) Optum Presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies
“We just had to have representation in the breakaway because it’s always better to be in front than to be chasing,” said Morton. “We put two in it, which took the pressure off the other guys.”
As the break approached the second and final sprint of the day in Fairplay, Van Avermaet attacked and crossed the line first, followed by Schleck and Beyer. With two more climbs and 26 miles to go to the finish in Breckenridge, it was still anybody’s stage.
On the climb up to the next Nissan KOM competition of the day at Hoosier Pass, riders began to drop off the break. Morton however saw an opportunity and started pulling away to take the maximum KOM points, followed by Fränk and Craddock. Taking the descent at speeds around 50 mph, the three riders grouped together with a few members of the original break following behind and the peloton still on the chase.
Reaching the final Nissan KOM of the day at Boreas Pass, Fränk rode through the sea of fans to crest the summit first, followed by Morton and Craddock. Now, with only 2.5 miles to go, the pressure was really on. Knowing it was now or never, Peter Sagan (SVK) Cannondale Pro Cycling, Tejay van Garderen (USA) BMC Racing Team, Tom Danielson (Team Garmin-Sharp) and Darwin Atapuma (COLOMBIA) made a move out of the peloton to catch the break. And in a sprint through Breckenridge, Fränk took the stage win, followed close behind by Morton and Sagan.
“I really had one shot, and today I knew that I could make it there on the short, steep climb,” said Fränk. “I definitely had the plan to go for the stage win today. The altitude here really got to me. I really had to go super deep there at the finish. Now I have a stage win here and I’m really happy with that.”
In the race for the jerseys, Morton claimed the Smashburger Leader Jersey and the Colorado State University Best Young Rider Jersey. Sagan held onto the Clif Bar Sprint Jersey, as did Cooke to the Nissan King of the Mountains Jersey. The FirstBank Most Courageous Rider Jersey went to Fränk for his impressive racing.
