Following the completion of the third stage of the Trans Andes Challenge, the race enters its second half.
German cyclist Stefan Sahm increased his lead in the overall standings by winning the demanding third stage which connected the Reserve Huilo Huilo Reserve with the Menetúe Thermal Complex. It was supposed to be the most difficult stage of the race.
Racers began to feel the cumulative effects of the event on day three. Intense heat during 76km and 2500m of climbing took their toll.
After the start in the Huilo Huilo Reserve, competitors climbed a steep ascent close to Pirihueico's. After that, they rode old logging roads that took them toward the finish at the Coñaripe Thermal Complex.
Stage winner Sahm increased his lead over American Jason Sager, who arrived in second place for the stage. In the men's duo category, Argentinean Luciano Caraccioli and Chilean Javier Püschel took the stage while the American duo of Mary McConneloug and Michael Broderick again won the mixed duo category.
Stage 4 will happen on Thursday, January 26 over 78km between Coñaripe Thermal Complex and Menetúe Thermal Complex. This stage includes the trans-Volcanic pass between Villarrica's volcano and Quetrupillán volcano in a forest of Araucaria's pine trees.
