Tour of Missouri
September 12 ? Stage 2 Clinton to Springfield Road Race
The question heading into Wednesday?s 125-mile Stage 2 from Clinton to Springfield was whether the Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team would try and hold onto Ivan Dominguez?s yellow jersey of race leader. The answer came early on, as a breakaway of 12 riders went up the road. Toyota-United did its best to reel the escapees back in, but with no help from others, it proved to be an impossible task.

| The trip over the dam was a ride in the gutter for most of the peloton. |
There wasn?t much time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. |
