Francisco Cabrera (Lider Presto) has won the first of today's two stages after a very tight sprint in the city of Curicó. Stage 7a covered just 85 kilometres as riders will now prepare for the afternoon's short but potentially race-defining time trial.

The stage started with several attacks from teams looking to put riders in an escape but the Lider-controlled peloton never allowed them much breathing space. The only successful escape of the day came after 40 kilometres involving Jorge Garcia (Relax-Gam) and Juan Bravo (Glassex-Bryc). The duo built a one minute lead and took the points at the only intermediate sprint of the day.

Today's parcours was full of technical, right angled turns, making riders at the rear of the peloton suffer most. As the sprinters' teams prepared their men, the speed increased and the escape was caught with 15 kilometres remaining. Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Selle Italia showed their hand with several attacks in the closing stages which ultimately proved unsuccessful. The stage ended with a traditional and very tight bunch sprint, Francisco Cabrera (Lider Presto) taking victory ahead of Anthony Brea (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Selle Italia) and Nilceu Aparecido (Scott).

The stage 7b individual time trial is only nine kilometers long, but the last two are uphill to the Cerro Condell. Francisco Cabrera (Lider) will be the last rider to go down the ramp as he increased his lead with the bonus seconds picked up today.
