A few teams showed interest, but there was never a strong feeling that the break would be closed down today.
After a great day yesterday some of the
Siam Cement - Lenovo domesiques would pay today, being some of the few riders who would be dropped from the peloton. Galedo would slip a few places down the GC today.
20 KM to go: Break @ 2'00.
The climb has been negotiated and the break have a handy advantage, they are now down to four riders with
Edmondson the only rider to be dropped from the break.
The break would fight out the win.
Firsanov goes for a long one. The Russian champ puts in a big attack with 700 meters to go. Is this a stage win incoming?
300 meters to go.
Valencia breaks free from the rest of the break. Can he catch Firsanov though?
Yes he can! It is another win from the break for
Grupo Nutresa, as
Valencia times it right to take the win. They have to be very happy with the way this race has gone for them.
Fluckinger holds off Affonso, the remnants of the break, for 3
rd.
Guillen wins the bunch sprint for 5
th to round out this tour.
Yasmani Martinez wins the Tour de Slovenie! It gets better, for him, as well. His 6 points gained for finishing 10
th also sees him leave with the points jersey.
Wu takes the youth jersey,
Masuda takes the KOM jersey and
Siam Cement - Lenovo were the best in the team classification.
