The next day they raced again, but racer #1 started 2 miles behind racer #2, who began at the same starting line as the day before. Assuming they cycled at the same speeds as the day before, who won the race?

    		Racer#1 would still win.
    If racer#1 raced at 50mph then racer#2 would only be travelling at 48mph. Racer#2 would take 1 hour 2.5 minutes to complete the 50 miles but racer #1 would have travelled 52.08333 miles so would have overtaken the other before the finish
