Stage 2 - March 25: Los Andes-Viña del Mar, 133.6 km

Downhill for Collins

By John Alsedek, cyclingnews.com correspondent

With today's stage running mostly downhill, it was almost inevitable that it should come down to a field sprint, and that's just what happened, with the win being taken by Chile's Arturo Corvalan (Union Ciclista Curico). There were no changes in G.C., except for the loss of 7 UP/Colorado Cyclist rider Paul Collins, who crashed and fractured a forearm during the stage. Sunday's stage is a 141.6 kilometer trek from Vina del Mar to El Tabo
