Day three saw La Ruta hit its highest point, at 3010 metres above sea level on the slopes of the Irazu volcano. The mud quotient also decreased significantly from the first two stages, but it made no difference to the results; Federico Ramirez (BCR-Pizza Hut-Powerade-KHS) and Sue Haywood (Trek-VW) took their third consecutive stage victories, and extended their already significant overall leads to the point that it will take a miracle for them to be displaced in the final day tomorrow.

Stage 3 started on the outskirts of San Jose and immediately began to climb. After rolling through crowded city streets (and on the sidewalk at one point to get around a traffic snarl up involving two buses, a transport truck and multiple scooters), the field stretched out quickly as the pavement tilted up.

Eight kilometres into the climb, riders entered a narrow green tunnel between three metre tall, moss covered dirt embankments, topped by huge ferns and trees. The track had degenerated to a pair of slippery cement pads the width of a car footprint, and was as steep as 18 percent in places.

Coming out of the tunnel the riders hit a short flat section of grass and mud before a final 20 percent singletrack grunt to the first checkpoint. After a short downhill respite, it was a solid 20 kilometres of climbing to the top of the climb. While the savagely steep sections of stage two were absent, mist, rain and the cold sapped the strength of riders.

At the top, it was 15 kilometres of gradual descending, with the first few kilometres the roughest. The final 15 kilometres was straight descending, with the last five switchbacking through coffee plantations to finish in the town of Aquiares (literally 'Surrounded by Rivers').

Ramirez had commented after the previous stage that his team's plan was to 'control' the race and watch his rivals. That plan had obviously changed overnight, when he attacked hard six kilometres into the race and rode away from the rest of the top contenders.

"It was my strategy to attack," he explained. "Last year I got flat tires and a minor injury on the downhill, so I wanted to go down more slowly at my own pace and be careful. It was something that my trainer and I discussed."

He very quickly opened a gap, with Thomas Dietsch (Gewiss-Bianchi) commenting wryly "In three minutes he had one minute on us," said Dietsch. "He is so strong, it was not possible to chase."

Ramirez rode steadily away to establish a gap approaching 10 minutes by the top of the climb. At the top his mechanic quickly changed his wheels to ones with wider tyres for the downhill, while Ramirez grabbed some food and put on a jacket for the descent.

His team mate Juan Alberto Solis came over the top next, followed by Deiber Esquivel (IBP Pensiones), Tinker Juarez (Cannondale), Paolo Montoya Macosta-Lee Cougan) and Dietsch all together. Esquivel descended with reckless abandon to overtake Solis and finish second, just under nine minutes behind Ramirez. Juarez finished fourth when Montoya flatted and Dietsch decided to take it more cautiously.

"We rode as a small group on the climb, but the downhill was very technical with many rocks. I decided to ride it very carefully," commented Dietsch.

Montoya took fifth, just ahead of Dietsch, and these two riders hung onto their second and third spots respectively in the overall standings, while Solis moved into fourth and Juarez is fifth.

Haywood added another 17 minutes and 41 seconds to her lead over second-placed Louise Kobin (Sho Air-Rock and Road), and is now over 43 minutes up on her rival with one stage remaining.

"Today was a 'wow' day, the terrain was amazing," she explained. "Louise and I started together, but we split up when we hit the pavement. I didn't think I was getting much time on the climb, because I could always see her one switchback below.

"Today was the day I was looking for; I'm in stage race mode now," she added. "But I'm in awe of the climbing they have here - that is the test of La Ruta."

Race Notes

- A lot of riders missed a crucial turn early on the downhill and lost varying amounts of time - from a few minutes to, at the extreme end, elimination from the general classification for Max Plaxton (Rocky Mountain-Haywood).

"I descended for like 12 kilometres, and there was no way that I could climb all the way back up, so I got a ride in the back of the pickup of a local farmer, and then when I got to the last checkpoint got into the broom wagon. I was so cold; I swear that I saw snowflakes in the back of the pickup."

Andreas Hestler (Rocky Mountain-Haywood) came into the downhill in tenth place and by the time he got back on course (after a flat) he had dropped to 23rd. Manny Prado (Sho Air-La Ruta) went in eighth and lost some 25 minutes, dropping to 21st.

- Samantha Philips (formerly Nicholson), a former top Canadian cyclo-crosser, was leading the women's race in stage one when she crashed heavily. She continued on to the second checkpoint, with an extremely painful shoulder. When she had it checked out by first aid, it turned out that she had covered some of the toughest riding of the stage with a compound fracture of the collarbone. She went to hospital and had surgery, with a plate installed.

"It was a stupid little crash; I was looking at my line ahead when my wheel went into a little waterbar and twisted the bars, and sent me over."

She is back at the race today, providing support for a friend.

- Race founder Roman Urbina was driving the lead motorbike on Day 2 when he misjudged a corner on the first descent and crashed, breaking his knee. He was back at the race this morning, on crutches.
