Last stage of the race, and we might see a few changes. Or maybe not...
The BOTD was a mix of escapees from past stages. Gallego (Benfica) was up front, with Akgul (LA/MSS B ), Agudelo (Zenmind) and Boucher (Molteni) right behind him.
Not much happened until the last climb of the day. Right when the trio was behind reeled in, the top-5 overall attacked. With 6km to go, Gallego still had a lead of 6min.
Lobato was the strongest, with Moreno close behind, Vicioso a little bit further and the Zenmind duo Caucchioli and Gutierrez being the weakest of the attackers. 4km to go and Gallego with a 4min advantage.
But Gallego had used up all his energy and was caught with only 200m to go. The victory went to Moreno, with Lobato in 2nd and Vicioso 3rd. Gallego would have to settle for 4th.
The Zenmind duo came in 1min30 after Moreno.
The rest, 1min after Caucchioli and Gutierrez.
