Stage 4 - January 22: San Luis - La Carolina, 159 km
Serpa steals a victory in the final kilometre

Opportunity knocked for Columbian José Serpa (Diquigiovanni) when he took a flyer with one kilometre to go and narrowly won the Tour of San Luis stage four ahead of a bunch sprint. Danish sprinter Matti Breschel (Saxo Bank) flew in for second place ahead of the stage one winner Mattia Gavazzi (Diquigiovanni).
"We've been having a great race here in San Luis," said Serpa regarding his team placing two riders on the podium and taking a second stage win this week. "My team did a similar tactic to what we tried a couple of days ago on the Mirrador climb. We had one of my teammates attack and then another counter. I waited until the last kilometre to go. I really didn't think I would be able to stay away. It was very hard. I'm happy to have a stage win here."
The final climb up to La Carolina was more than twenty kilometres long on a gradual incline. It looked tough on paper but in reality it was not steep enough to shed the sprinters from contending the finish. Team's Saxo Bank, Liquigas, Bissell, Colavita-Sutter Home and Diquigiovanni rallied for best position. In the end it was Breschel who crossed the line first in the bunch kick.
"The climb wasn't really that hard and I had good legs today," said Breschel who placed third in the Varese World Championships last September. "We tried to do everything to try to win today. JJ [Haedo] and I were talking about who was going to sprint today. In the end we didn't manage to come together. Unfortunately we ended up second and eighth."
San Luis native Alfredo Lucero continues to lead the overall by more than one and a half minutes ahead of his second placed teammate Jorge Giacinti and third placed Sebastian Haedo (Colavita-Sutter Home).
"I have a lot of faith in my team and I know they can do a good job to defend the jersey here," said Lucero who safely sat protected in the bunch while his teammates manned the front of the peloton for most of the stage. "I'm from San Luis so this jersey means a lot to me and I will work as hard as I can to keep it. I think I can do well in the climbs here."

Tour of San Luis stage four offered the riders 159 kilometres of relentlessly undulating terrain. Starting at the Casa de Gobierno, the race travelled out to three large circuits around the scenic El Trapiche/La Florida, local vacation hot spots. The 20-kilometre loop incorporated several climbs per lap before veering off to start the ascent to La Carolina.
Several breakaways gained small margins on the field. The bunch was largely controlled by team Argentina and its leader Lucero. All breakaway attempts were reeled in before the first intermediate sprint where Haedo took full points. Eric Baumann (Sparkasse) counter attacked and jumped ahead in a solo move. He picked up first placed points in the second intermediate sprint, leaving second place to Haedo. The Argentinean speedster leads the sprinter's competition by four points ahead of Ben Jacques-Maynes (Bissell).
The most significant break of the day formed 70 kilometres into the stage. It included Alessandro Vonti (Liquigas), Andy Guptill (Colavita-Sutter Home) and Nazaret Prado (Brazil). Prado pushed the pace on the climb to take full points at the first KOM. He currently leads the climber's competition by two points ahead of Haedo. He was also the highest ranked rider on the general classification, several minutes behind Lucero.
The trio was later joined by Lasse Bøchman (Saxo Bank), Martin Garrido (Palmerias-Resort), Yordenis Crespo (Cuba) and Luis Sepulveda (Team Chile). Xavier Tondo (Andalucía-Cajasur) proved to be the most aggressive rider of the day when he time trialled away from his companions on the final climb to La Carolina. A promising chase group of two formed behind that included time trialist Dirk Muller (Sparkasse) and talented climber Jackson Rodriguez (Diquigiovanni). They never connected with Tondo.

"I like to time trial and I thought I had to try and see if I could make it to the end," said Tondo a former winner of the Tour of Portugal. "It was a good try, very hard and it's too bad that I didn't make it just a couple of kilometres more."
Team Argentina set tempo at the front of the field and swallowed up the remnants of the initial break within the last ten kilometres. Tondo continued on. The Spaniard is better known for his time trial skill, which was apparent after he spent more than 20 kilometres solo in a bid for the victory. He valiantly fought off a sprint ready peloton and was caught with two kilometres to the line, leaving the door open for Serpa to counter attack.
