The end of the race is closing and after this stage, only two stages can make diferences between the favourites. So today, there may be important moves. The favourites are 5, those who are at the top of the GC.
Over the first mountain of the day, Ratti is the first over Mora and Wijaya.
All the attackers are brought back and Perez Arrieta is the first in the intermediate sprint. Lara Ruiz and Dyadichkin that are leading the peloton are the second and third, respectively.
With 72km to go, attacks from Öste-Macdonald, Savoldelli, Veloso and Ribeiro.
Veloso holds a advantage of 30 seconds after the attack over the other three. He wins the sprint in front of Ribeiro and Öste-Macdonald.
Veloso continues his solo ride. In the second mountain sprint, Öste-Macdonald is second and Ribeiro is third.
The Spanish still leads in the last intermediate sprint.
Öste-Macdonald and Ribeiro complete the top three spots. The chasing group is at 30 seconds.
The peloton, led by Starbucks and Nespresso, passes here 4 minutes after Veloso. 30km to go.
The road rises and attacks in the peloton! Pedraza, Saldarriaga, Efimkin and Torres. Only Pedraza gets a gap, though.
Tenorio and Terciado also want to escape.
Ratti and Anza follow.
Ribeiro catched Veloso and he's now gapping the Spanish. 2 minutes and a half for the pack.
Ortega is the next to go.
Danielson attacks! Henao Montoya quickly follows. They are now passing Savoldelli.
Perez Cuapio also counters.
And, finally, a move from Brajkovic, countering Moreno.
Henao Montoya and Danielson form a group and have Veloso, Pedraza and Ribeiro in front of them.
Moreno and Brajkovic are a half a minute behind of Perez Cuapio who is losing 30 seconds to Danielson and Henao Montoya.
Pedraza passes Ribeiro. 45 seconds is the gap to Danielson and Henao Montoya.
The Sony Ericsson rider is the first over the top. The advantage to the North American and to his fellow Colombian is around 30 seconds.
Brajkovic is already losing 1'47'' to Pedraza.
Pedraza will get the stage win, but will there be gaps?
Brilliant win for the Colombian. His fellow citizen takes second in front of Danielson.
Perez Cuapio loses time. He is fifth behind Ribeiro.
And even more time loses Brajkovic. He still manages to pass Ortega on the last meters, though, getting the sixth place.
