The seventh stage of the Tour of Colombia 2025 left us this Thursday the victory of Wílmar Paredes in Cali – they are two for him in this edition – and the consolidation of Rodrigo Contreras as the leader of the general classification for the fourth consecutive day.
The fraction, of 185.2 kilometers, departed from Armenia and concluded in the capital of Valle del Cauca with an arrival to the sprint. Paredes took advantage of his presence in the escape of the day to impose himself strongly in the passage of commerce, after a mostly plain tour with three special sprints.
The getaway, in which the stage winner himself was, managed to open more than six minutes of advantage over the main lot. The podium of the day was completed by Cristian Vélez (GW Erco Shimano) and the Risaraldense Kevin Castillo (SYSTEM), who also integrated the group of escapees.
Rodrigo Contreras, who had suffered in the final kilometers of the queen stage, extended his leadership in the general classification. The Chief of Rows of the Nu Colombia accumulates a total time of 22 hours, 15 minutes and 22 seconds in the present edition of the most important career of the national calendar.
The provisional podium is accompanied by the Boyacense Diego Camargo (Team Medellín), at 1:04 minutes, and the Venezuelan Yonathan Eugenio (EBSA), at 1:20., Which climbed to third position after showing a good rhythm on the Vallecaucanas roads.
The Boyacense Yeison Reyes (Paisa Pride), winner of the Reina stage with a solid attack on the top of the line, did not waste time but left the top 3 after Eugenio's outstanding performance. Now it is fourth, at 1 minute and 50 seconds of Contreras.
The return to Colombia 2025 will continue this Friday with the eighth stage, a half mountain tour of 171.4 kilometers between Cali and La Tebaida, in Quindío. The day includes a fourth category port near the end, which could be decisive in case of a late attack or a selective sprint.
