Egan Bernal was crowned the Colombian national road race champion for a second year in a row.
Bernal tackled the punchy 207km course in his home of Zipaquirá in style. Bernal and teammate Brandon Rivera – who won the time trial championships earlier in the week – worked well together throughout the race.
With 35km remaining, Rivera and Bernal were in the chasing group, 1:30 back on a solo leader, before Rivera managed to escape with two others.
On the short but steep Via de Pacho climb, Bernal was able to claw back time and overtook Rivera who retired from the race due to his efforts.
Bernal went off the front with Iva Sosa (Kern Pharma), Javier Jamaica (Nu Colombia) and Robinson Lopez (Erce-Sportfitness), before Sosa pushed on alone.
Soon after, Bernal demonstrated his strength and caught Sosa, with the pair working together.
Rising to the finish, Bernal kicked and easily outsprinted Sosa, giving him time to raise his arms and claim the title for the second year in a row.
