Tyler Stites claims overall after coming third on stage
Wilmar Paredes (Team Medellin) won the final stage of the Tour of the Gila, riding away solo on the mountainous finish at Piños Altos, while Tyler Stites (Project Echelon) held onto his overall lead.
Efrén Santos Moreno (Canel's - Java) came second on the stage while Stites came third, stretching his GC advantage over Walter Vargas (Team Medellin) who finished 13th on the stage but still held his second place on the overall.
Paredes winning efforts on the final stage shifted him up to third overall after the final stage of the five day UCI 2.2 ranked race, which was run over 100.6 miles with 9,131 feet of climbing.
