Britton 6th in ITT at Vuelta Independencia Nacional & Remains 2nd on GC
There was a lot of excitement on day six of the Vuelta Independencia Nacional in a day that hosted both a 111 kilometre road stage and the 20 kilometre individual time trial. Jure Kocjan grabbed his second stage victory of the tour with an impressive sprint finish in the morning's road stage.
With teams once again racing aggressively, there were a number of attacks with riders wanting to break away from the peloton. Jure Kocjan's breakaway move came around the 30 kilometre mark and it was unsure whether it would still or not with 80 kilometres still to race.
But the peloton was content at holding the break at just under two minutes for most of the stage, the break eventually got out to four minutes before finishing just over two minutes ahead of the bunch.
Coming into the final stretch of the stage, Jure's legs proved to be the best of the five escapes to take the stage win. With his stage win, he was also awarded the points jersey following the stage but this was short lived as the yellow jersey holder, Edwin Sanchez took it back following the individual time trial. Jure sits in second place by one point for the points jersey.
In the afternoon's individual time trial, the six Team SmartStop riders rode extremely well putting three riders into the top ten of the stage.
Being in second on the overall general classification, Rob Britton was the penultimate rider to head out onto the course; he had a great ride with a time of 12:22, sixth and equal with 5th place Andres Diaz from InCycle-Predator Team. First place went to Wilson Marentes Torres with a time of 12:06, who Director Michael Creed, said was just flying. Zach Bell and Eric Marcotte both also placed in the top ten.
The penultimate stage will be another long day of racing with a 177 kilometre road stage from San Cristobal to Santo Domingo and is flat and rolling, three sprints and 3 KOMs, very similar to previous days stages. Rob Britton remains in second overall, 1:54 behind leader Sanchez and 23 seconds ahead of third place.
