I guess then (s)he must be totally beside reality

can one imagine the great Óscar winning in Ibagué having destroyed Epm and GW on his way to get there.

Let it eat at yah

[Max Rockatansky]

Time to start this race with day 4.

 

[DNP-Old]

Alto de los Padres is unpaved.

 

[proffz]

colombian stge. arrival at 3489mt after a climb of 56km.

 

[DNP-Old]

Unfortunately I couldn't watch, but JP Suarez won on El Picacho, with Aristobulo Cala being the new leader. No idea what happened, but somehow, someway, Oscar Soliz made a big leap and now he is 10th in the GC. No further results as of yet.

Re:

Sevilla struggling with those heights is a thing of the past. He's done extremely well in all the stages in Ibague (La Linea) the past few years.

Looks like he is done...

You don't even know what the GC looks like beyond the top 10. Soliz and Laverde are the only contenders in the top 10 right, is the rest done as well?

Oscar Sevilla arrived 19 at 4:41. So it would be very hard to come back from this loss.

Re:

He was like 4th of the contenders, in the same time as Cano, so safe to say it had nothing to do with heights as Max Rockatansky suggested. That said, this is far from over with a 36k time trial and a stage to Letras.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

I looked at the gaps that Letras caused in 2007. So yes, there is still a lot to move. I was just expecting more from Oscar yesterday and thought it was the altitude.

But it makes for a great outcome of this race. The big guys (Sevilla, Cano, Duarte, even Soliz) have to attack like mad men in the next stages.

A couple of years back, Rubiano also was in the same position. He hold himself well during the rest of La Vuelta, but totally crumbled in the TT to Las Palmas on the final day. Would be great for him to finally win this race, but JP Suarez is a big threat too in this shape.

Another tough climbing day today. Movistar Colombia have really gone all out for this one, with Ángel Alexander Gil and Óscar Soliz together, 2 minutes ahead of the main group going over the Alto de Chiflas.

Edit: lol, forget that, complete misreading I think. There are two escapees ahead of the group which Gil and Soliz are in, not that they are the escape. It seemed bizarre, but having seen some interesting tactical choices in the Vuelta a Colombia before, not impossible and I rather jumped the gun on posting.

 

[DNP-Old]

Alex Cano attacked on Chiflas and takes back more than 3 minutes on Cala. He's in this.

 

[DNP-Old]

 

[Arredondo]

Cano for sure is in the mix. Sevilla, however, will not take more then 2 minutes out of Cano in normal circumstances.

He's doomed.

Question for DNP Old.At what time aprox. will tomorrow's stage finish be? Considering it's a short stage. I live near Sopó and I want to see it.

Somehwere between 11:45 and 12:15. It's all here in the roadbook: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B18JTMkRzDk6NnpVQk93M3dvc1k/view

 

[Arredondo]

I have to say the broadcast of La Vuelta has improved massively this year!

 

[DNP-Old]

Serpa won the 7th stage from the break.

 

[Escarabajo]

Today's the decisive ITT 36 kms. Long distance for a Colombian race. It is going o be challenging for the climbers. No wonder why Sevilla does not feel that he is out of it.

 

[Escarabajo]

In case anybody needs to know this is the profile for Letras in 2 days:
