Sartasov storms to TT victory
By Robinson Nuñez
|
Stage 7b was the individual time trial - a short nine kilometre course with the last two kilometres uphill to the Cerro Condell. Andrei Sartasov (Lider Presto) won with great style, beating Francisco Mancebo (Relax-Gam) and young Magno Prado (Scott). Favorite Edgardo Simon (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Selle Italia) lost his chance of victory after the second kilometre, when his saddle lowered and he had to ride most of the course standing on the pedals.
Tomorrow, stage eight takes the peloton 170 kilometres from Curicó to Maitenes with a category 2 uphill finish. After today's results, the overall favorites are Andrei Sartasov, Francisco Mancebo and Marco Arriagada (Lider Presto). The stage will be a warm-up for the brutal stage nine on Saturday: 50 kilometres of climbing from Santiago to the Valle Nevado ski station, high in the Chilean Andes.
