The fifth stage of the Tour Colombia 2024, which included a 138.3 km route between Cota and Alto del Vino, saw Ecuadorian cyclist Richard Carapaz, of the EF Education-EasyPost team, stand out with an impressive solo victory.
In a thrilling finish to the Alto del Vino Special Category, Carapaz left behind his rivals, including compatriot Jonathan Caicedo of the Petrolike team, who came in second, and race leader Rodrigo Contreras of the NU Colombia team, who took third place.
Carapaz, with this remarkable performance, placed second overall, just 17 seconds behind the leader. "We raced in Chaves' home, it's a very nice memory" said Carapaz after his victory. "We knew we had a lot of options, we knew we could get there."
Despite Carapaz's victory, Rodrigo Contreras kept the yellow jersey and remained the leader of the Tour Colombia, thanks to his outstanding performance during the day.

- Why is Greg always mentioning Armstrong negatively, while knowing but never mentioning that all of Armstrong's competitors were doping also? It couldn't be that Greg wants to be sure he's always known as the only USA winner of TDF could it? Give it a rest Greg. Armstrong's 7 (!) TDF wins should still be acknowledged as wins & only struck if all known dopers' wins are struck eg Bjarne Riis' 2005 win (Riis has since publicly admitted he was on EPO), Marco Pantani's win 1998 (obviously was on EPO), Jan Ullrich's win 1997 (publicly admitted took EPO, steroids thru his career), etc. The cyclingnews.com site has the same problem whenever Armstrong comes up. Greg ought to go ride with Armstrong -- except Greg looks so out of shape, I doubt he could.Xrider5103-12-2024
- Yeah, that will be good for Cyclocross also.

- Bernal, Remco - how do these teams not have support to keep their multi million dollar investments safe in training rides? Be it scooters ahead of them or finding safer routes, this is insane.mij03-12-2024

maria2024202403-12-2024 - what??? Jonas has a climber perfect physique. He is very light, enormous quadriceps and if you see him from the side, you'll see a huge thorax (big lugs). Better than that impossibile, he was born to climb, a specialist. Tadej is versatile as his physique shows. He's not a specialist.maria2024202403-12-2024
- Heal up Remco!awp03-12-2024
- I never considered him arrogant. He was outspoken at times and angry at other times. He's a professional athlete, sometimes they are emotional.awp03-12-2024
