23rd Vuelta Ciclista de Chile - Cat. 2.5Chile, March 23-April 2, 2000Stage 8 - March 31: Quirihue-Curicó, 213.2 kmLongest stage sees a breakaway successBy John Alesdek, cyclingnews.com correspondent Today's stage from Quirihue to Curico- at 213.2 km, the race's longest- saw an end to the bunch sprints that have been largely prevalent in this year's Vuelta Ciclista de Chile, as the distance and a series of climbs helped a breakaway group of nine stay away until the finish. With two riders each in the break, the Ekono/Go! Zuko and 7 UP/Colorado Cyclist teams were the hot tips to win; however, it was Agro/Adler's Cristian Lademan who took the sprint from double stage winner Steve Speaks (7 UP/Colorado Cyclist) and Argentine Lisandro Cruel (Crush Entre Rios). With the main group containing race leader Luis Sepulveda just 14 seconds behind, there were no significant changes in general classification. On Saturday, the 84 remaining starters will contest the penultimate stage, a 191 km road race from Curico to Santiago that finishes with several circuits of the Parque O'Higgins. Results1.
