Sebastián Castaño stayed with the victory in the second stage of the Tour of Colombia 2025, the first arrival at high of the most important cycling career in the country.
The Pedalist of the system system was the most explosive in the auction of the day and attacked just over a kilometer of the goal to keep the triumph. With this result, in addition, he dressed as a leader of the general classification, unseating Wilmar Paredes of Team Medellín, who had won the inaugural stage.
This was the top-10 of the general classification after the second stage of the Tour of Colombia 2025
An explosive ending that was crowned by Castaño
The fraction, marked by the demand of the Alto del Porvenir, was encouraged in the last five kilometers, when the main group began to move the race. Sergio Luis Henao was the first to try, launching a distance attack in search of a lonely triumph. However, Carlos Gutiérrez, of Movistar, neutralized the offensive of the experienced Nu pedalist and took the lead with a solo attack that also seemed definitive.
However, the hardness of the ascent and ambition of the persecutors did not give Gutiérrez truce. Yesid Pira, one of the favorites in this type of finals, headed the persecution in the decisive section and ended up hunting the Movistar corridor.
It was at that time, with the already compact group, that Sebastián Castaño took advantage of his explosiveness to launch an accurate attack just over a kilometer of the arrival, enough to open an insurmountable advantage.
“I was looking for a lot and finally it happened. Always second or third. But today I was finally given. I had this stage very mentalized. I knew that I had to attack in the last meters, which was where the stage was defined,” Castaño declared at the end of the day, visibly excited to conquer his first victory in the Tour of Colombia, one that also gives him the leadership of the general classification in a field that favored its characteristics.
This will be the third stage of the Tour of Colombia 2025
The third stage of the race will be decisive for the general classification. The 75th edition of the Tour of Colombia will have its first day against the stopwatch: a 33 -kilometer individual chrono -scallop that will depart from Curití and ascend to Toquilla.
A challenge that will test the specialists in the fight against the clock and that could redefine the leaders of Sebastián Castaño today.
