At the Valley of the Sun, overall leader, Gord Fraser saw teammate Mike Sayers take off in the early move. With only 1 other willing to go off with him, the duo built a maximum lead of 4 minutes. The rolling course normally features at least 1 section of significant wind, but Saturday the wind was calm. With Mercury holding the top 4 spots overall going into the race, and 1 man already up the road, it was up to the other teams to lead a chase and make something happen to shake up the Mercury stranglehold on the overall standings.

Fraser was looking to take another stage win and with a maximum team effort, he did just that. With the victory and the 20 second time bonus, Fraser has now increased his lead over his other 3 teammates.. Fraser has now won both stages, and is looking for the sweep in tomorrow's stage 3 criterium.
