Thrilling third victory for Simon
By Robinson Nuñez
|
Edgardo Simon (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Selle Italia) has won his third consecutive stage after a thrilling finale that saw Gustavo Artacho (Colavita-Sutter Home) caught and passed right before the line. Artacho celebrated when he thought the victory was his, only to see Simon snatch it away at the last possible moment.
As usual, Lider Presto were on the front from the start. The race travelled along route 5 (the famous road from Alaska to the south of Chile) for the first 115 kilometres where the wind made it very hard for any escape to survive. A few attacks and brief escapes formed but no-one managed to gain more than a minute before being caught by the peloton.
Adam Bergman (Colavita-Sutter Home) built a one minute lead and maintained it for almost 50 kilometres but was caught before the first intermediate sprint. The sprint was won by Francisco Cabrera (Lider Presto) followed by Arturo Corvalan (Glassex-Bryc).
After 105 kilometres a group broke free from the peloton containing Sergio Montivero (OGM), Emiliano Donadello (Selle), Ruben Gonzalez (Apicola Martinez), Luis Mansilla (Transportes Bretti) and Gustavo Artacho (Colavita-Sutter Home). They built a 1'15 lead before Lider Presto reduced the gap to 30 seconds. When Artacho was informed of the reduced advantage he hit the gas and dropped his companions, extending his lead to 1'30 over the peloton.

With exactly 15 kilometres remaining there was a massive pileup at the back of the bunch, slowing the chase as teams checked on their riders. Luckily for all involved, there were no serious injuries and Lider resumed their pacemaking duties, reducing the gap to 30 seconds with 5 kilometres to go. Artacho was still going all out in front and looking solid.
With the red flag signalling the final kilometre, Artacho had the peloton breathing down his neck but still appeared to have enough distance in hand to hold off the pursuit. Then, out of nowhere, Edgardo Simon catapulted from the bunch with Francisco Cabrera (Lider) on his wheel, passing Artacho who had already begun his celebration. A disappointing end for him and his team after a long day of work. Artacho was second and Cabrera third.
Stage 7a will start tomorrow morning from Talca and end in Curicó, for a total of 85 kilometres. It will be another flat stage with the non-GC riders looking to escape and try for a stage win - if Edgardo Simon allows them. In the afternoon, stage 7b is a tough 9km individual time trial that will include a 2km uphill finish to Condell hill, sure to increase the overall time differences. A peaceful stage 7a is expected, as riders will save themselves for the important ITT.
