Chilean rider Javier Püschel won the Trans Andes Challenge for the second time in his career, after finishing second on the final stage in Patagonia.
Püschel became champion after fighting during several stages with Spaniard Joan Llordella, who won the last stage and finished second overall.
The final stage started in Termas de Menetúe and went down through a long climb between beautiful mountains near volcán Villarrica. Then, competitors faced a rapid descent through internal roads near Los Ojos del Caburgua. The final step was Eco Parque in Pucón, for a total of 47 miles.
Antonio Rovira and Pau Zamora were third overall and winner of the duo category. Rebecca Rusch defended her solo women's title while Mary McConneloug and Michael Broderick won the first place in the duo category.
