[Zoncolan]

OK. Thanks!

it seems babyface was right behind henao,the last climb was easy.
and yes that dog was suicidal at least

 

[jens_attacks]

now tomorrow the battle inside antioquia.can henao hold on?

 

[hfer07]

damn- the top 3 are apart by 9 seconds

 

[Duartista]

So, Montana gained a bit of time on Henao - 9 seconds plus bonus. Romero lost a fair amount and will probably drop down a few places - might even have lost the young riders jersey to Pantano. Cardenas may have lost a few seconds. Otherwise, the GC should remain unchanged.

 

[jens_attacks]

oh man that's some emotional stuff,poor osorio cries...

 

[hfer07]

today's stage partial results:

1 Frank Osorio
2 Darwin Atapuma, a 31s
3 Freddy Montaña, a 33s
4 Sergio L. Henao, a 45s
5 Oscar Sevilla, mt.

GC top 10, courtesy of nuestrociclismo.com:

1 Henao
2 Pedraza @1
3 Cardenas @10
4 Baez @21
5 Sevilla @53
6 Montana @1.11
7 Brenes @ 1.49
8 Romero @2.15
9 Pantano @2.38
10 Victor Nino @2.46

Anyone of the top 6 could win it tomorrow. Sevilla probably the favourite, followed by Baez and Henao. I would love to see Montana do it though, would be a great story.

Wow. Has this really gone down to a last day tt where anyone could win.

Epic stuff.

I so want to see this.

Would like Sevilla to win. Others would maybe not have found the motivation to fight in a cycling scene like Colombia after being in Europe competing for Vuelta, but he has really put his mind towards winning this race and I think he deserves it.

Oh and its a Giro time trial. Even better.

I'm hoping that we might get some decent coverage tomorrow - should be easier with a mountain TT.

After his daring attack the other day I must admit that Sevilla would be a deserving winner. As I mentioned though, Montana would be a great story - he has come back from a terrible crash (he was hit by truck in Italy) a few years ago which left him in a coma.

any of the guys who will win is a a deserved winner.el gato to win will be amazing.it's just that i'm really cheering for babyface,he will fly tomorrow,there will be big time differences.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

babyface won't win, you heard it first here

 

[Escarabajo]

Come on Henao, just one more day.

Prove that you are the best from Colombian cycling.

I like "El Gato" but he is the past. Sorry guys.
