Vuelta a Andalucia: Late-race assault nets breakaway rider Diego Uriarte stage 4 win

It was a day for the breakaway in southern Spain, as Equipo Kern Pharma’s Diego Uriarte took a surprising first skilled victory on stage 4 of the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol.

The 23-year-old was certainly one of six riders in competition for victory after the early break and was capable of keep clear all day, with UAE Team Emirates-XRG content material to defend the general lead of Pavel Sivakov. 

With just below two kilometres left to race, Uriarte launched a speculative early assault, however with the opposite riders taking a look at each other, he was capable of cross the road first after simply over 4 hours of racing to file a shock win for his group. Alan Jousseaume (Team TotalEnergies) was second, and Connor Swift (Ineos Grenadiers) accomplished the rostrum in third.

There was no change within the total classification because the peloton rolled in over 4 minutes behind the winner, with Sivakov retaining the yellow chief’s jersey for the third day, Clement Berthet (Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale) second and Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) third.
