Diego Camargo takes Vuelta a Colombia lead

Overview

Wilmar Paredes of Team Medellín-EPM, who initially dominated the 2026 Vuelta a Colombia with four consecutive stage wins, lost the general classification lead during the fifth stage. The ‘queen stage’ featured a grueling climb to Alto del Sifón, which shifted the standings significantly.

Diego Camargo, also of Team Medellín-EPM, won the fifth stage with a time of 5:04:09 and assumed the overall leadership with a total time of 21:28:08. Javier Jamaica of NU Colombia moved into second place, trailing by 38 seconds, followed by Édgar Andrés Pinzón of Team Sistecrédito in third, 1 minute and 4 seconds behind the leader.

The race continues amidst the aftermath of a recent earthquake in Colombia. In a show of solidarity, the Funre Vima Machine team officially withdrew from the competition to support affected families. Meanwhile, Guatemalan cyclist Mardoqueo Vásquez of Team Hino-One-La Red has emerged as the leader for the best foreign rider, currently holding eighth place in the general classification.
