Four amateur riders form the break.
The pack is being controlled by Minions, Aker and World Cycling Center with 50 km to go.
Chaves and Beltran have crashed! Aker have sent their whole team back to pace their leader back to the pack. They currently trail by 2'17".
Lierse and World Cycling Center doing the chasing with 20 km to go. The break's lead is 1'1". The Chaves/Beltran group is 2'54" behind.
An amateur rider attacked from the pack with 16 km to go.
But the move didn't last long. One by one the break were caught with the last two riders caught with 3 km to go.
Gaviria - Angarita - Castaneda - Avila - Jaramillo - Bolivar - Acevedo is the train behind the lead Lierse amateur.
Castaneda and Avila start their sprint as Gaviria is still behind his leadout.
Gaviria finally launches his sprint but it might be too late. Angarita has passed him as well.
It is Castaneda vs Avila for the win with 200 meters left.
And Castaneda takes it! Avila and Angarita complete the podium.
