Venezuelan Richard Ochoa Dominates in Barahona in the 3rd stage of the Giro Dominicano
Stage 3 Vuelta Independencia Nacional
San Cristobal to Barahona 164 kms
Richard Ochoa dominated in the 164 kms stage in a fast time of 4.00:46 accompanied by his breakmate Christopher Frederick of the United States. Christopher takes the Yellow Jersey as leader of the race with six seconds in hand over Ochoa in second on the G.C.: and and French national Arcalde Herve riding for the regional cycling committee of Marinique with 1;26 gap.

Aeg/Toshiba/JetNetwork Celebrated Indepedence Day in Dominican Republic in Yellow
Baharona Stage 3
After 3 days of hard racing in the 27th addition of the Vuelta Independencia on the island of Hipsanol, the AEG /Toshiba/JetNetwork pro cycling team turned up the jets and took over the lead in both the individual and team classification of one of Latin America’s toughest stage races.

On Dominican Independence Day, Chris Frederick attacked the field and forced a class selection that included tour of Venezuela stage winner, Richard Ochoa (Selection de Venezuela), Tour of Martinique winner Herve Arcalde (Martinique) and the former Vuelta Independencia stage winner, Frederick.

On the roads from San Cristobal to Azua, the three powered away from the aggressive field and grew a break away to nearly two and a half minutes, which lasted at least 50 kilometers of the race. Ochoa nipped Frederick at the line with a wicked sprint as the two cracked their breakaway companion nine kilometers from the twisting and technical Barahona finish. Eric Keim finished ninth in the stage and handily won the field sprint while being led out by teammate Predrag Prokick, Chris DeLuise, Joe Fernandez, AJ Smith.

Frederick trades in the Blue Meta Volante jersey as the leader of the Intermediate Sprints classification for the Leader’s Yellow jersey and starts the fourth stage as both the leader of intermediate sprints and the general classification, and the team starts the day as the top team.
