64a Vuelta a Colombia - Supérate Intercolegiados 2014

Good TV broadcast tonight. They put many cameras on the climb that they can follow riders for a couple of Kms. A contrast to the coverage in the other stages

Nice roads as well (I haven't been there in 4 years)

I don't like the commercial breaks, though.

What a fight for GC. Just 2 seconds between Camargo and Sevilla before the final stage. Sevilla wil ofcourse do everything to get that jersey, and he's quick in this field so Camargo should take care in the sprint too. I hope the latter can hold on, because this race has to be won by a Colombian.

I'd say that Rubiano wouldn't hold his jersey, but losing 6 minutes is a lot. Really good win by Gomez btw, and good perfomance by Moreno.

We have to do something about the Vuelta. Even if it changes the identity we have to allow the best Colombians to win it.

If you want the best colombians to win it you need a bigger budget, more doping controls, less race days and a calendar spot in either march or october.

Won't happen.

you need less tt and more multi mountain stages
 
The debate is pretty useless when you realize that
- a Colombian win in this year's edition was already only a second away
- Sevilla by all accounts is already regarded as at least half-Colombian
- the passport of a rider shouldn't be of any importance at all

The best should win, not the best Colombian.

Very good points. I'm not against foreigners (or half-colombians) winning it. I only debate the reasons why the best colombians don't participate.
