The men raced three laps, and after the first lap the lead group was at 18. Entering the final lap, it was down to five: P\u00e1ez, Tiago Ferreira of Portugal, Martin Stosek and Kristian Hynek of the Czech Republic, and Italian Juri Ragnoli.<br>&nbsp;<br>P\u00e1ez was the first to make a decisive attack from that group, and only Ferreira and Stosek could follow. The Colombian kept the pressure on and eventually dropped the other two, going on to post a winning time of 4:19:50, 2:20 ahead of Ferreira who took silver. Stosek hung on to take the bronze medal, another 15 seconds back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombian Leonardo P\u00e1ez defended his title at the UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championship race in Sakarya, Turkey, winning the elite men\u2019s race for the second year in a row to earn the gold medal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[9,10,6,7,8],"class_list":["post-223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-giant","tag-anthem","tag-campeon-del-mundo","tag-giant-new","tag-leo-paez","tag-xtc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":499,"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223\/revisions\/499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disandina.com\/site2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
