Well the last day of the Tour of San Luis is here, the last stage my last preview of this Tour.... Like everything in life this has to come to an end and this is not different.... Today We will get to know who the winner is and all the final results.

Etapa07b_medium

via www.tour-sanluis.com.ar


We will have 1 climb that will give KOM points and after this one we will know who is taking KOM jersey home. the standings for this are like this:

General Montaña

1) Rubiano Miguel A. (And) 30 ptos.

2) Contador Alberto (Esp) 20 ptos.
3) Leipheimer Levi (Ome) 14 ptos.

So most likely Rubiano is taking it.

We have 2 intermediate sprints before we can know if the favorite of the people local boy "el Loco" Guevara keeps the sprinters stage in San Luis or it goes somewhere else. Standings in this area are this:

General Meta Sprint
1) Guevara Emmanuel (San Luis) 12 puntos
2) Avila Edwin (Col) 10 puntos
3) Richeze Mauro (Arg) 5 puntos

Pretty sure Schumacher will try and gain 4secs on Diaz somehow.

Could be an interesting little batlle.

JJ for a home win please.

“hubo un inconveniente en el sprint y me cerraron y escupieron, yo le pegue” – there was a problem in the sprint. someone blocked me and spat at me, and I hit him (Is that right Pablo?)

The translation is right...

add to that that people said that they blocked him, hit him and he reacted.
