Stage 7b - March 30: Chillán, ITT, 20 km

Chilean turnaround

The grip of Latvian Andriss Reiss (Sintofarm) was finally broken this afternoon in the 20 kilometre time trial in Chillán. The Latvian rode well for a time of 25.41, but lost a minute and forty seconds to new race leader, Luis Sepulveda (Publiguias), who came second in the event.

7 Up Colorado Cyclist's Steve Speaks recorded his second victory of the tour with a win in the time trial. He averaged over 50 kilometres per hour, with teammate, Anton Villatoro in third place at 9 seconds. However, the classification is now stacked with Chileans: 5 out of the top 6, with Reiss holding fifth spot.

Sepúlveda is now very likely to win the overall race. If he does, it will be the first time that a rider has won it twice.
