Vuelta a Ecuador

Ecuador's Vuelta al Cotopaxi was held on November 29 to 30 this year. The two-day stage race drew 400 local and international racers to compete around the Cotopaxi Volcano, the world's highest active volcano at 5,890m. Teams of two competed in men's, women's, mixed, masters and super masters categories.

Martin Saenz & Alexandra Serrano (Cikla - Birm) won the mixed pair category ahead of Angelica Ramirez & Ruben Garrido (Cikla - Specialized) and Rebecca Rusch & Greg Martin (Specialized - Redbull). Rusch, the 24 Hours of Adrenalin World Champion, made the trip south from the US to compete with her partner Martin.
