PNSI Ronald Lomotos answers the call, dislodges Oranza

PNSI Ronald Lomotos answers the call, steals overall leadership from teammate Ronald Oranza.

The Ilocano-speaking rider and Queen stage winner has answered the call. The San Felipe pride arrived in the nick of time at Lake Drive in Burnham Park, bursting at the seams.

Lomotos clocked 6 hours, 05 minutes and 04 seconds, making a wide margin lead of 8 minutes and 27 seconds over Excellent Noodles riders Joshua Bonifacio and Joshua Pascual, while his teammate Oranza fell behind by 8 minutes and 18 seconds. Lomotos has an average stage speed of 30.83 Kph in the most arduous stage.

The 27-year-old PNSI climber is about to set a record in Philippine cycling history as the first Zambaleno rider to win a national cycling tour.

After stage nine, the general classification was reshuffled. PNSI once again set another record of one-to-four in the GC.

In the tenth edition of LBC Ronda Pilipinas, PNSI recorded an impressive one-to-three finish during stage four but superseded the record following the next stage with its unparalleled one-to-six finish.
