Rodrigo Contreras gave a coup of authority in the Tour of Colombia 2025 this Sunday after clearing clearly in the third stage, a demanding chrono -scarce of 33.2 kilometers between Curisi and Tocquilla.
The Pedalist of the Nu Colombia team starred in a true power exhibition and resistance on the roads of Boyacá, stopping the stopwatch at 1:14:26, an unattainable record for its rivals.
Diego Camargo (Team Medellín-EPM) was second, but two minutes and 36 seconds, while Yeison Reyes (Paisa Pride) completed the podium at 3:51.

Contreras, the new leader of the general classification
The triumph not only meant the stage victory for Contreras, but allowed him to take the leadership of the general classification, consolidating his way to a possible two -time championship after the title obtained in the 2024 edition.
With an accumulated time of 9:39:58, he leads with 2:35 about Diego Camargo and 3:12 about Yeison Reyes. Javier Jamaica (Nu Colombia) and Wilson Peña (Team Systemard) complete the Top 5, but with disadvantages that exceed four minutes.
This will be the fourth stage of the Tour of Colombia
The fourth stage, which will be played between Duitama and the Alto Cogollo, will present a mostly flat 152 -kilometer route, but with an explosive end. The final ascent to the high co -collo, 2823 meters above sea level, will define the winner of the day.
Although most of the route passes between 2500 and 2550 meters of altitude, the last 10 kilometers are inclined strongly, becoming a propitious field for climbers who want to cut differences or seek a stage victory.
The stage can be followed live through the RCN digital channels, and from 11:00 am will also be broadcast on the basic television signal.
It will be a key day to observe how Rodrigo Contreras defends with the leader's shirt and if any of his persecutors are encouraged to launch an attack in the demanding closure of the high co -collo.
