Venezuelan José Rujano (Gobernación Del Zulia) moved closer to a giant title
for him and his country, the crown of the 59 edition of the Vuelta a Colombia
after winning solo the 10th stage between Manizales and Guaduas in 4:38:47.
Second place was Javier González (Lotería de Boyacá) at 55" and third Freddy
Montaña (Boyacá es Para Vivirla) at 1:04.
Stage 10: Manizales-Letras- Guaduas 167.3 km^
The Stage
135 riders took off for the 10th Stage starting at Manizales -Caldas Province
capital- and finishing at the municipality of Guaduas in the central province of
Cundinamarca. A key stage with two KOM challenges, first at the scary "Paramo
de Letras" at 3,595 meters above sea level to be reached at 38 kilometer. This
is where José Rujano showed early in the stage today, that it would be a good
one for him.

Although the climb would have the riders gaining 1,800 meters of
altitude in about 26 km, launching an attack was not what Rujano was looking
for, but the group just happened to dissolve by natural selection of gravity and
tiredness.
Botero, Sevilla and others used quite a bit of energy connecting to Rujano on
the long 60 km descent that followed, energy they might find later would be
needed for the final battle and outcome.

At the second intermediate sprint a break of 5 adventurers was born;
Juan Carlos Torres, Graciano Fonseca, Giovanni Báez, Alex Cano and Fernando
Camargo. They kept it a respectable 3 min difference when going through the
third and last intermediate sprint where Juan Carlos Torres imposed his
conditions.

In Honda, they started the 2nd category "Alto de la Mona". The leader's group
was under the Venezuelan's control, both Loteria Del Táchira and Gobernacion Del
Zulia. In Despite this, José Rujano decided to tighten it up a bit and
caught the breakers. Fernando Camargo of Lotería de Boyacá was the only
one of the quintet to survive on Rujano's wheel.
Far back two former title contestants, would suffer on the mountain, Spaniard
Oscar Sevilla and Cundinamarca's Fabio Duarte who was no longer able to continue
due to an illness he caught back in Medellin. Fabio finally had to put his foot
down and say good bye to his Vuelta's dream, well for now.

This is a young gun with a promising future; he already wrote an
important page in this years Vuelta at la Linea, whereas Rujano will not
certainly have good memories of La Linea where, says his coach, he showed poor
judgment in not taking good care of himself. Mr. Rujano did not eat properly
during the stage and it was too late when the Linea came. If that was the case,
he was lucky no tot lose 20 minutes.
Santiago Boters just could not follow.

With 4 km left to the summit of "Alto de la Mona" Rujano attacked and left
his rivals looking at each other. They slowly reacted and crossed "la Mona"
after Rujano in this order: Javier González, Cesar Salazar, Freddy Montana,
Fernando Camargo among others. Rujano's strong rhythm allowed him a minutes
difference on the chasers for the 7 km downhill travel to Guaduas where he
definitely made the statement no other leader has been able to make in this
Vuelta.

The crowd in Guaduas' main park saw Rujano completing his third victory
and gave welcome cheers to this little giant of the mountains on his way to the
first title for a "Patriot" in the Colombian Andes.

Tomorrow the 11th stage leaves Guaduas, arriving at Zipaquirá -Cundinamarca-
going through "Alto del Vino" for a total of 141 km.

That comment about Rujano's feeding mistake reminds me of an early 90's
edition of the Tour of France, in which, today's Doctor, Alvaro Mejia -Postobon
Ryalcao Attacked Miguel Indurain, Perico Delgado, Marino Lejarreta, Tony
Rominger and their court in the first curves of The Tourmalet; well he had put
about two minutes on them, the cameras would switch back and forth and suddenly
we lost him for a while, and Wow what a surprise when the camera arrived with
the chasers showing Mejia literally having launch on his coach's car. At the end
of that stage he lost 14 minutes and any hopes for a good result in the general
classification. Learning something? You have to eat before and during the race,
it is not an option.
