The Classic RCN-System 2025 started with its own name: Wilmar Paredesthe man of EPM Medellín, He took the first stage after a powerful packaging in Mutatá and dressed with the first leader of the leader of the Edición 65. The cyclist, backed by a solid team, knew how to take advantage of the precise launch of his companions and crossed the goal with sufficient strength to mark territory from the beginning of the “Titan Duel”.
The competition, one of the most traditional of the national calendar, began this Saturday, September 20 in Apartadó, Antioquiaunder a sun that already touched thirty degrees. From an early age, the square in front of the mayor's office was filled with public to leave the 170 runners from 18 teams registered. At 8:45 am, the multicolored caravan took for a reduced route to 148.3 kilometersafter the modification of the original 197.7 km layout due to force majeure.
The circuit designed by the Organization Unió Apartadó, Turbo, Chigorodó and Mutatá, with a flat but demanding terrain in terms of rhythm and group control. The absence of the passage through Dabeiba did not have emotion: the open lines and the heat became the main rivals of the squad, which rolled compact much of the day.
On the route, the early role was for Camilo Sepúlvedaof the Paisa Pride team, who attacked with a decision in several Sprint points and added key points for the classification of the flying goals. His movements showed that the points shirt will have a fight from day one.
The closure, in MutatáIt was a party. People turned to the streets to receive the runners, and the popular atmosphere gave a special frame to the definition. There, with the platoon thrown at full speed, the power of walls appeared, which did not fail in the auction and raised his arms with authority. “I am proud of the team's work, it was incredible. They facilitated the end and I only had to finish off,” said the brand new leader, aware that victory is just a first step in a long path.
What comes promises more intensity. The second stage will be short and explosive again, but with a first -class mountain portwhich will put in trouble those who do not arrive with the legs ready and could begin to shake the general classification if the favorites decide to harden the rhythm.
The classic barely begins, but the spark already ignited in Antioquia: heat, emotion, popular party and a leader who is emerging as the protagonist. The “Duel of Titans” opened strongly, and the route to Cali, with its final counterreloj in the Cristo Rey, begins to be written from Mutatá.
