With a minute and four seconds of difference, the Boyacense Diego Camargo (Team Medellín) crossed the goal, who finished off the day with a large state of form, and in the company of the Venezuelan Yonathan Eugenio (EBSA), who also cut time in the general classification.
“I said that I wanted victory and that I was going to try whenever I could. My brother is going through a very difficult time, it hurt in my soul to come here and see him how he stayed,” said Reyes in tears after crossing the finish line.
The closure became eternal for Rodrigo Contreras, the leader of the general classification, who completed the tour with two and a half minutes of difference with respect to the winner of the day. Despite suffering a difficult day, the current race champion remained at the top of the general.
