Final Results: Andes Pacifico 2020
After five days tackling the infamous Chilean anti-grip, the 2020 Andes Pacifico has reached its conclusion. In similar fashion to last year, the two Chilean riders Pedro Burns and Florencia Espiñeira once again took the top spots after winning every day of the event.
In the mens racing, Romain Paulhan settled for second position but unlike 2019 he would be nearly two minutes off the pace of Burns. By the final stage, Iago Garay was able to secure a solid third-place finish beating out Devinci's Greg Callaghan to the final podium spot. In the Womens race, Florencia Espiñeira was unstoppable putting over seven minutes into the closest rider. Paz Gallo managed to come closer than 2019's second-place rider Laura Battista but it wouldn't be enough to stop a charging Espiñeira.

But to each his own.
If GMBN gave up their frame sponsors, they could have an AMAZING show comparing all types of bikes. Maybe one day...
My reference to Top Gear is due to the way they play up the "personalities" of each member. Martyn is by far the most genuine but the rest are a bit melodramatic. I imagine a pre-roll with cartoon caricatures. NEAL! The serious racer type... BLAKE! The lovable goofball... DODDY! The brains of the operation... MARTYN! Genuinely good guy that keeps it real.
I was glad to see the back of Scotty. Nothing against him, but nothing special either.
Slugger, he was funny as shit with his deadpan presenting style.
