Three time's no charm - for other teams

Manuel "Gato" Medina won the bunch sprint on day three and made it three in a row for the Café Quetzal Sello Verde team. They also still hold the general classification lead with Venezuelan Franklin Chacón.
Café Quetzal was the animator of the day, sending Medina, Chacón and Nery Velásquez up the road. The trio rumbled through the hilly area ahead of the pack. Once they were caught a counter formed with Chacón of Café Quetzal, Vargas of the Venezuelan National Team, Araya and Archila of Coca Cola, Hernández of IBP Pensiones and Navarrete of Ecuador. But the peloton reeled them in four kilometres from the line, setting up the sprint.
