Colex is back to defend his title against 5 worthy competitors.
Yes, we only have 6 cyclists on the startlist for today's event. Kind of mysterious how they were able to convince the organizers to get their own race.
Live Nation makes up half of the start list. They will be disappointed today if they don't come away with a victory.
Rangel and Colex breakaway early and the other 4 cyclists sit up.
Simple reporting today, which one of the two is going take this?
Colex is the better mountain climber but they are both pretty even on the hills.
They fight each other all the way to finish but in the end we will get a new champ.
Congrats to Hector Hugo Rangel for out-sprinting Colex.
The other four cyclists don't reach the finish within the time limit.
