Bauer wins second stage of Tour of Utah

11:58 am on 12 August 2011

New Zealand cyclist Jack Bauer's taken out stage two of the Tour of Utah.

The 2010 New Zealand road champion, who's riding for the UK-based Endura Racing, jumped the peloton 500 metres from the finish and had the strength to hold off the sprinters to claim one of the best wins of his career in the UCI 1.2 category event.

It was a doubly successful day for New Zealand riders with Auckland's Roman van Uden of Pure Black Racing grabbing the sprint jersey lead.

Colombian rider Sergio Luis Henao retains his overall lead for team Gobernacion De Antioquia.
