LW Proto: Gutiérrez haemorrhaging time!
After shadowing Seth Quintero until km 199, Cristina Gutiérrez is losing over half an hour at the next checkpoint. Her teammate Guillaume De Mevius has taken advantage to move into second place, 5'17' behind Quintero. This development should also help 'Chaleco' López and Saleh Alsaif move up the standings.
