Esteban Chaves takes over from Sergio Higuita as the new Colombian champion after winning the
national championships ahead of
Daniel Martínez and
Nairo Quintana. The
EF Education-EasyPost rider attacked 8 kilometers from the finish line to take a well-deserved victory.
Behind, Daniel Martinez and Nairo Quintana tried, but it was too late when they reacted to the winner's attack. Two-time champion Sergio Higuita and time trial champion Miguel Ángel López were not in the decisive phase of the race in Bucaramanga.
