Canadian sprint specialist Gord Fraser of the Health Net Pro Cycling Team Presented by Maxxis has won the second stage of the Tour of Connecticut, the 50 Km circuit race on the Lime Rock Park race track. Fraser, with Juan Jose Haedo (Colavita-Bolla) on his wheel, came around Mark McCormack (Colavita-Bolla) with 50 meters to go in the race, after McCormick put in an aggressive attack on the last climb of the final lap of the race to open up a 10-second gap. But Fraser was strong to the line and Haedo was unable to come around him.

The win earned Fraser 20 points in the five-race Omnium format competition, and put him in sixth place overall. McCormick, who won the first race in the series last Sunday, added 13 points for a total of 53 points, 19 ahead of second place Shawn Milne (Fior di Frutta).

Mike Jones of the Health Net Presented by Maxxis squad picked up five of a possible six points in the King of the Mountains competition to add to the two he scored in the first race, to take the lead in the KoM classification by one point over Todd Herriott (Colavita-Bolla).

Former Olympic Champion Marty Nothstein (Navigators Insurance), holder of the Green Points Jersey, strengthened his lead in that classification by taking all three intermediate sprints on the day. Nothstein finished 11th in the stage.

The Tour of Connecticut continues Friday with the 50 km Criterium Race Around the Green in New Haven.
