23rd Vuelta Ciclista de Chile - Cat. 2.5Chile, March 23-April 2, 2000Stage 6 - March 29: Cauquenes-Penco, 140.5 kmReportBy John Alsedek, cyclingnews.com correspondent With only a few minor climbs midway through today's 140 km sixth stage, it didn't look to be a day for any major happenings, G.C.-wise. The 95-man peloton averaged over 42 kilometers per hour, discouraging any breakway attempts until the final kilometers, when a small group came close to upsetting the sprinters. However, it all came back together just before the finish, leaving Ekono-Go! Zuko's Enzo Cesario to top 54 others for the stage win. There were no changes overall. However, Union Ciclista de Curico's Jose Medina did manage to lock the Mountains jersey today with an unassailable 11-point lead of Columbian Israel Ochoa. Tomorrow's split stage day should be the race decider: a 110 km road race from Concepcion to Chillan in the morning, and a 20 km race against the clock later in the afternoon.
