Brit James Teagle, ktorý bol na treťom mieste zrazu zamieril opačným smerom a skončil mimo trate. Stratil tak drahocenný čas a Diego ho predbehol. Pred cieľom však Španiel na veľké prekvapenie počkal a pustil Teaglea pred seba.
"Bol celý čas predo mnou, zaslúžil si to," povedal po finiši športovec, ktorý si zase určite zaslúži ocenenie za fair-play.
