Buenos Aires time trial



How it unfold:
With an ondulating profile slighlty going down and with a 40km distance, this one was for the specialists or the one with the legs !

Ryan Roth had marked the time trial since the beggining of the race and had high expectation. Ryan did'nt disapointed posting the best marks on almost each time splits. Ryan was leading the competition until a super fast Rojas best his time by more than a minute. One more podium for Ryan and only one stage left in the Vuelta Kolbi a Costa Rica !



Ryan: "I did'nt know the course so I could'nt give it all on the climbs, but in the end I put on a good effort."

With his performance, Rojas also grabed the Regularidad lead over Jean-Michel with 15 points lead.

Jean-Michel: "My aspiration for the Regularidad jersey are now over, Realistically, I needed to get more points over Rojas today as tomorow is the hardest mountain stage and he will likely win it too. 2nd place in such a classification is still very good for me and I will try to defenc my 13th place on GC tomorow."
