Joseph Bora Javiniar of Excellent Noodles triumphed at the 5th stage 160 km Clark to Clark route. He peeled off at the 5th km to finish of the 7 man breakaway group.
Joo of Korea continues to hold on to the yellow jersey with 4:30 advantage, 3 stages to go. All he has to do is to maintain his 4:30 advantage over Oranza which he can comfortably hold on to what with the punishing pace throughout the race PNSI meanwhile holds on to slim 30 lead over the 2nd place.
Respect and congratulations to Excellent Noodles, to our Filipino riders, and the MPTC organizer, sponsor, much thanks.
