Stage 7 - October 27Report: By Tomas Nilsson, cyclingnews.com correspondent The German Josef Troster, riding for the Austrian team in la Vuelta a Guatemala won the seventh stage by outsprinting three local competitors. They had attacked as a five man group quite early, but as none of them were highly placed in the general classification, the peloton let them go - at most they had seven minutes. The two first sprints went to Troster, while the thirdwent to Hermenegildo Semet. In the group at the end there was also Real Yari and Marvin Lemus, while Carlos Patal was tailed off at an earlier stage of the race that was once again contested in suffocating heat.
