La seconda tappa della USA Pro Cycling Challenge ( Montrose-Crested Butte, 159,6km ) ha visto il trionfo di Tejay Van Garderen, il giovane talento statunitense della BMC Racing Team. Ha battuto in una volata a due il connazionale Christian Vande Velde (Garmin-Sharp).
Anche questa, come la prima tappa, è stata caratterizzata da una fuga partita nelle prime battute di corsa che ha avuto un vantaggio massimo di circa 5′. Tra i fuggitivi anche Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas Cannondale), sempre in evidenza quando la strada tende a salire. L’ultimo ad arrendersi poco prima del traguardo è stato però lo svizzero Mathias Frank che si è visto sfilare a doppia velocità dal compagno di squadra Van Garderen tallonato da Vande Velde.
Tejay Van Garderen, classe 1988, vincitore della maglia bianca al recente Tour de France, è anche il nuovo leader della generale con lo stesso tempo di Vande Velde.
