The last stage of the Tour of Colombia 2025, a 138 -kilometer tour between Sopó and Bogotá, had drama, strategy and a decent closure of champion. Andrés Pinzón (GW Erco Shimano) took the partial victory, but the great protagonist of the day was Rodrigo Contreras (Nu Colombia), who intelligently defended the leadership and signed his third consecutive title in the most important test of national cycling.
Contreras left with 46 seconds of advantage over Diego Camargo and 1 minute 48 over Yeison Reyes. The margin seemed comfortable, but the script changed in the top of patios. Camargo launched a fierce attack one kilometer from crowning, managing to leave the leader 17 seconds at the top. The race tensed.
In the descent, technical and dangerous, Contreras chose not to risk. “I had to go thoroughly, but it was dangerous. I preferred to wait for the plane,” he explained later. It was in the seventh race of Bogotá where the tricampeón connected with Camargo, Pinzón and Yesid Pira. There, with the title practically assured, he still had the strength to seek the triumph of stage.
He did not get it, ”Pinzón finished with explosive to give Gw Erco Shimano his first triumph in this edition – but the general was the main objective. And that more fulfilled it.
“Happy for this new victory. Without the sacrifice and discipline of my classmates we would not be celebrating. We face hard rivals from the beginning in Yopal. Now it's time to rest and think about the second half of the season,” said a Contreras who already looks further, with the confidence that gives the return to Colombia three years.
Rodrigo Contreras not only won in 2023, 2024 and 2025: he has imposed a seal of constancy and cold blood. His name is already registered in capital letters in the history of Colombian cycling.
