3rd Vuelta a Chihuahua Internacional - 2.2Mexico, October 6-12, 2008Main Page Results Overall standings Previous Stage Next Stage Stage 3 - October 8: Guachochi - Creel, 155.9kmLadino fends off Mancebo's challengeBy Monika Prell As Equatorian rider Byron Guama (Canels Turbo) sprinted to the stage win, Gregorio Ladino survived the race's queen stage to remain at the head of proceedings in the Vuelta a Chihuahua. Having resisted every attack upon his leadership and the seven passes along the way, Ladino minimised his losses against his nearest rival, Francisco Mancebo (Fercase Rota dos Moveis). Guama took the sprint against Portuguese rider José Mendes (Benfica) and Mancebo (Fercase Rota dos Moveis), as the latter tried to overcome an eight-second deficit on the general classification. "It was a predictable stage", said Ladino at the finish. "The rivals rode the way they had to, and the gaps are very small. Tomorrows individual time trial will be decisive. I am not bad in the time trials; the harder the better for me. Every rival that has less than 45 seconds behind me will be a danger. What I've achieved so far is the fruit of the work, although I would like to win the general classification. We trained hard in Guadalajara before the Vuelta a Mexico, in 2600 metres of altitude, and for this reason the team is doing so well", added the leader. How it unfoldedThe third stage from Guachochi to Creel began at 12 noon; the organisation declared its support of the battle against breast cancer by wearing pink shirts and the riders pink hair-bands as they posed for photographers. After seven kilometres of the race, Björn Thurau (Elk Haus), François Parisien (Race Pro), Gorka Izagirre (NGC Medical), Caleb Fairley (Garmin Chipotle), Raul Vazquez (Code Jalisco) and David Salomón (Canels Turbo) started the first breakaway, although Izagirre, Fairley and Vazquez didn't last out front for long. The remaining three were joined by Gerardo Soto and Juan Sandoval, and the quintet had an advance of two minutes and 45 seconds after 45.5 kilometres of the race; it was the most time they'd get all day. At kilometre 81 their time was up as Tecos Trek pursued hard. A descent after 87km claimed several riders in a crash, including Meitan rider Ryohei Komori, who broke a rib. Race leader Ladino also crashed twice and lost a minute to the peloton; his team mates helped him get back, however. Ten kilometres later, Byron Guama (Canels Turbo), David Vaz (Fercase Rota dos Moveis) and José Mendes (Benfica) built a new breakaway group. The peloton, lead by Garmin Chipotle, Scott American Beef and Tecos Trek, was not able to reach the trio in front. Austrian Harald Totschnig (Elk Haus) attacked on the descent to join the trio, but he wasn't able to follow their rhythm and was chased down by the peloton. Tecos Trek, which still headed the peloton, had become disinterested in chasing so the advance of the trio in front remained at about one minute. Gorka Izagirre (NGC Medical) tried to reach the three escapees, but wasn't successful. At one kilometre to go Mendes attacked, but he couldn't resist Guama who finally passed him in the last 20 metres. Those at the awards ceremony paid their respects to the families of 13 adolescents killed the August 16 in Creel as did the entire race by holding a minutes silence.
