Bloody Rujano is getting wedched by BabyFace the old fashioned way is losing time every day. It could even have been worse today cause Nino coming in 4th was right on the money for the bonis, but still again 9 seconds diff.:

4 31 ESP19760929 SEVILLA,Oscar ELITE INDEPORTES ANTIOQUIA 8sec
22 1 VEN19820218 RUJANO,Jose ELITE LOTERIA DE BOYACA 17sec

The bearer of the crown is now trailing el grande Nino at a ramping 5m:

21.- 1 VEN19820218 RUJANO,Jose ELITE LOTERIA DE BOYACA a 5:00

I need to have one as above pictured from this... now has anybody cought that youtube video online already ... want to see drama once more

 

[DAOTEC]

Who the hell is this and what bike is he on ?

What is Nino then shouting at in the middle of the final sprint... what does it say "El Deloporte" ... do they want to deport him, for him being to good ?

OK, the winner of today once more from another angle !

And the smoking gun took YouTube at gunpoint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8_sb5bpHKc&feature=player_embedded

Today

07.08 | stage 7 | Tunja–Duitama-Circuito Mundialista '95-Pantano de Vargas (136.8 k)

So that's 140k at 3000m or 3k altitude ... it looks easy but is not ... you won't see that at a TdF !!!

Today's ride is al over Boyacens territory of Tunja in the direction of Duitama and then arriving near Paipa, where the finishline is drawn at the Pantano de Vargas monument. An important monument to the country, to commemorate the independence of Colombia from Spain (almost 200 years ago).

At 18 k of the finish the riders must climb the alto Duitama, de El Cogollo, known for the world championship in 1995. A bit of a transformation stage today, maybe something for a long flight ... but that was thought last year to when Rujani gained a lot of time back in stage ? on Duarte.

 

[DAOTEC]

[Ryo Hazuki]

I love all those colombian nicknames like Felix "El Gato" and he really looks like a cat also and with his first name as Felix...

 

[DAOTEC]

Me to ! ... here is the sprint ...

 

[shadowblue]

i'm sorry, but no way did that profile match today's finish.

i think someone messed up with the profiles for stage 7. cause it looks exactly like stage 8.

 

[DAOTEC]

Is shadowblue right ?

what is seen as flat in colombia is seen in europe as hills or even mountains.
