Stage 6
Welcome on the Stege 6 of Vuelta al Tachira! This stage is a great challenge for strong climbers. We´ll try increase our advantage in GC if possible. So let´s start!
After many early attacks a group of 12 riders formed in front, but it starts to split in first today´s climb. All of my riders are in main pack.
Brutal climb just before top of the second climb. There is a group of 3 riders in front, including Kline, Duarte and Kobzarenko. They are about 5 minutes ahead of main pack.
Top of third climb, leading is still over 4 minutes.
Final climb after beginning and Kline drops out the leading group. Main group is still over 3 minutes down.
Kobzarenko is struggling and Duarte stays at front alone!
Meanwhile....Blanco attacks the main group! Most of climbers including Rujano counters and very strong group is forming behind leading trio. Is there some chance to catch them yet?
No, only Kline was catched, Fabio Duarte is celebrating his magnificient victory, Kobzarenko is second.
And here are main contenders sprinting for the last podium place, it´s David Blanco followed by his team mate Mestre.
Stage results
1 Fabio Duarte Colombia es Pasion Coldeportes 3h19'29
2 Valery Kobzarenko Team Type 1 + 45

2 José Rujano Gobernación del Zulia 65
3 MartÃn Garrido Palmeiras Resort / Tavira 53
4 Nico Eeckhout An Post - Sean Kelly Team 45
5 David Blanco Palmeiras Resort / Tavira 42
We defended yellow jersey, but Blanco (how is it possible he has black skin in my game? ) is only 24 seconds back.
This stage showed us it´ll be much harder to succeed as especially Palmeiras is looking very very strong. And we cant´t underestimate other riders like Axelsson, Visconti, Zaballa and some others.

Stage 7
Today is second real mountain stage, our main goal is, with no surprise, to defend leader´s jersey. Will Blanco show his power again? Or someone else? We must keep eyes open and watch all around very carefully.
And here is first breakaway, Cronshaw with Howard attacks main pack.
Cronshaw is already alone on the top of first climb.
And here is a final climb and first attack from Visconti, Laverde with Axelsson counters. Howard´s escape is now over. Cronshaw is still ahead.
Three escapees have no chance as Manuel Medina sets very high pace in front of main group.
Cronshaw´s mission for glory is over.
Visconti attacks once more, several climbers counters. There are 6 riders in front at this moment - Visconti, Laverde, Aldape, Zaballa, Blanco and Rujano.
David Blanco attack front group, only yellow jersey is able to counter!
Jose Rujano tries to attack, Blanco can´t respond!
Too soon, Blanco is back and opens the sprint! And wait.....what the hell that guy Zaballa is doing here???
It seems Blanco will win easily...
...but Rujano is fighting and is back!!! It will be close!!!
And IT IS really close!! Who is today´s winner?
Sorry, I forgot to export results after this wonderful stage....

Vuelta al Tachira - stage 8
This stage seems to be quite easily after last two mountain stages and we expect all contenders will save some energy. So we have decided to join in early break if any.
And our tactic works, Vasquez joins leading group of 6 riders.
Fabio Duarte attacks main group! Is he trying to gain another stage victory?
He is close, but is not able to catch leading group and cracks in final hill.
At the same moment Vasquez attacks his group and noone response!
Duarte is caught by main pack. Hu must wait for his second stage victory, but is still leading in KOM.
Noel Vasquez kept close lead till finish and celebrates great victory for our team!! Main group is about one minute behind.
stage results
1 Noel Vasquez Gobernación del Zulia 3h40'09
2 Adrien Niyonshuti MTN Cycling s.t.
3 Matthew Rowe Candi TV - Pinarello RT s.t.
4 Hidenori Nodera Shimano Racing Team s.t.
5 Liam Holoham Rapha Condor s.t.
6 Jack Bobridge Team AIS s.t.
7 David O'Loughlin An Post - Sean Kelly Team + 51
