Perez & Prado sweep all stages

Pair also celebrates overall win
Eddy Perez and Manuel Prado swept all three stages of the fourth edition of the El Reto del Quetzal en route to winning the overall. The pair teamed up to form Seven Capital / Sho-Air for the three days of racing.
"Right from the start Eddy and I rode a very hard pace to keep the team in second place overall from riding on our wheel," said Prado in his blog. "They took this stage last year and we knew that they were eager to challenge us today. For the first 40 minutes of today’s stage, they were riding no more than one to two minutes behind us, but Eddy’s tempo going up the climbs was good enough to get rid of them and you know what they say, 'out of sight, out of mind'.
The pair went on to win the stage by a very comfortable 23-minute margin.
