Jeremiah Bishop (Cannondale Factory Racing) described stage 2 of the Breck Epic as "the best stage of any race I've ever ridden." It covered 42 miles and climbed 7,300 feet.

Racers were thankful to be spared a torrential downpour that threatened in the early morning hours. This "hero" stage was full of climbing and singletrack. The front group, including Alex Grant (Cannondale), Matt Shriver (Fort Lewis College), Josh Tostado (Bach Builders) and Jeremiah Bishop (Cannondale), pounded out the miles and came through like a locomotive, putting serious time on the rest of the field.

Singlespeeder Evan Plews (Ibis) finished with a time of 3:32:07, putting 13 minutes between himself and second place Dejay Birtch (Niner) and stretching out his GC lead to 23 minutes. The battle for second and third GC continues between Birtch and Jake Kirkpatrick (New Belgium) who said, "It's a long week, a lot can happen". Montana Miller (Speedgoat/Wilderness Voyagers) took second in stage 2, tugging at the third place overall.

In the women's race, Pua Sawicki (OkoleStuff) has been rocking it out followed by Ivonne Kraft (Squirt/Bionicon) of Germany. Tammy Jacques-Grewal (Erickson/Honey Stinger) didn't complete stage 2 after taking a nasty spill on stage 1 and still managing a third place that day. An inspiration to all, Jacques rode through aid station 2 with a bloody cheek, choking back the tears. She will be missed as the Breck Epic continues its assault on the trails of Breckenridge.
