Did I Lose Them? TDU25-30
Javier Romo (Movistar) got a great jump on the peloton in the closing kilometers. Others tried to chase him down but just couldn't get themselves organized. Perhaps they didn't want to go too deep into their reserves assuming that Romo would be back in the fold soon and then they would have the energy to launch their own winning move. I feel the Romo must have been surprised to look back on this small rise to see open road when he glanced back with just four kilometers to race. After this rise, it is all downhill to the line in Uraidla, so he definitely has a chance for the stage victory.
