Rivas rides into yellow
Colombian Jesús David Castaño won the fourth stage in a solo effort ahead of Hebert Rivas of the Venezuelan National Team. Rivas finished 36 seconds back but took over the overall classification. Former leader Franklin Chacón (Café Quetzal) finished five seconds behind Rivas.
Rivas made a big leap in the overall, having been 25th going into the fourth stage. With 25 riders equal on time, it was going to be difficult for Rivas to control things at the front. Rivas wasn't concerned about the attack by Castaño, who was more than a quarter hour behind, but the move by Rivas spelled trouble.
Chacón couldn't get back to Rivas and eventually conceded the five crucial seconds that would confirm the change on the leader board.
Best rider from Guatemala is Johny Morales, who finished with the same time as Chacón. Joel Alamillo of Arenas Tlaxcala México leads the mountains classification with 31 points. Franklin Chacón stays atop the metas volantes classification, with 27 points.
