A pictorial: The day the Colombians tamed Genting

A day in the car of Colombia Selle-Italia, February 15, 2004

What better way to see the crucial stage to Genting Highlands than the team car of overnight leader Marlon Perez, Colombia Selle-Italia? Cyclingnews' Anthony Tan scored the ride of his life when offered the opportunity and captured the race from the driver's seat as the race unfolded in favour of Colombians Ruber Marin and Freddy Gonzalez, with Marin winning the stage and Gonzalez taking the overall lead by the day's end.
