Stage 4 - January 27: La Toma-Merlo, 173 km
Ricco wins stage, Giacinti dominates race
By Hernan Alvarez
Italy's Riccardo Ricco (Saunier Duval) won Stage 4 of Argentina's Tour de San Luis, riding the 173.5 kilometres between La Toma and Merlo in just over three and a half hours. The Italian prevailed on a big bunch sprint.
Mexico's Juan Pablo Magallanes (Tecos Trek) was second while local Martin Garrido (Duja Tavira) ended up third. Argentina's Jorge Giacinti (Lider) is the current race leader.
How it unfolded
Today's stage was hard for the riders following the Stage 3 Time Trial. There was a breakaway built up by Angel Vallejo (Relax), Daniel Petrov, Nelson Vitorino (Duja Tavira) and Juan Aguirre (Circulo de la Policia Federal) which led by 55 seconds just past the 100 km point, but the peloton managed to draw it back over the next 20 kilometres and swallow it. At the bunch sprint, Ricco showed his potential and crossed the finish line first.
Former leader Fernando Antogna (San Luis A) currently sits second in the General Classification, 37 seconds behind Giacinti, while Francisco Mancebo (Relax) is third, 55 seconds behind the leader.
Yesterday's individual TT was crucial in the development of the race, and the outcome of today's stage. Jorge Giacinti won that key stage and stepped into the top position in the GC. That day in Potrero de los Funes, Gabriel Brizuela was second and Matias Medici, third.
The event's final stage, tomorrow's Stage 5, ends in San Luis city. The stage is 130.5 kilometres long, with it's highest peak at 1,142 meters above sea level.
