After six hours, four minutes and two seconds of intense pedaling, the Boyacense Yeison Reyes crowned on Wednesday the Queen of the Tour of Colombia 2025, which concluded in the Alto de la Línea, one of the main dishes of this edition.
Reyes, a member of Paisa pride, shone in the last repect, a first -class port, after launching a resounding attack that allowed him to get more than a minute to his closest persecutors and cut the leader of the general time.
For Reyes, third in the general classification (he is 1:50 of leader Rodrigo Contreras), this triumph was special for the moment his family is going through, in particular his brother Aldemar, also a professional cyclist, who last week gave positive in control to doping out of competition.
“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.
Aldemar, who is also a climber and won the classic RCN in two editions, tested positive for a control that was carried out out of competition on June 9. Therefore he received a provisional suspension, while his case exceeds all instances.
Yeison defends him in the midst of adversity: “He is being unjustly pointed out and I celebrated how my brother does, as he celebrated. These is for my brother, together we have conquered many things. I am what I am thanks to him. This is for him.”
The pride pedalist Paisa also sent a greeting to Miguel Ángel “Superman” López, Colombian cyclist with experience and his friend, who advises him. “He tells me: attack, without looking back, only attack and the one who took Rueda, took Rueda, but you even the goal.”
The closure of the queen stage became eternal for Rodrigo Contreras, the leader of the general classification, who completed the tour with two and a half minutes of difference with the winner of the day. Despite suffering a difficult day, the Nu Colombia pedalist retained the yellow shirt.
This was the general classification of the return to Colombia 2025 after the queen stage:
