Navy-Standard Insurance seeks to further control the 2018 edition of Ronda Pilipinas, with the fifth stage set to commence tomorrow morning in Echague, Isabela, with its riders atop the overall classification.
Stage 5 is 179.4 kilometers long and will finish at San Jose, Nueva Ecija. Teammates Ronald Oranza and defending champion Jan Paul Morales are 1-2 in the standings.
Oranza won the first two stages of the tour to claim the red jersey for overall leadership and never looked back, toting a five-minute lead over Morales. According to the Villasis, Pangasinan native, he just wants to race smart in order to still wear the red jersey.
The defending champion is seeking to be the first three-peat winner of the tour, topped the last stage from Tuguegarao to Isabela to creep back into the title picture once again, and the Marikina native just needs to be ready to pounce and make cycling history.
However, Morales doesn't mind not winning the tour, for as long as it is a teammate of his claiming the PhP 1M prize as champion.
Navy-Standard Insurance comprises half of the Top 10 field, with Ronald Lomotos in fifth overall, Jhon Mark Camingao in eighth, and last year's runner-up Rudy Roque in ninth. It is this kind of effort that allows them to take a lead of over seventeen minutes against Go for Gold Developmental in the team classification.
Comprising the rest of the top ten are Jay Lampawog of Go for Gold Developmental, Cris Joven of Army-Bicycology, Irish Valenzuela of CCN Superteam, Ronnel Hualda of Go for Gold, and Leonel Dimaano of Team Franzia.
