Ok, so we’re not going to create a race thread for ALL races this year, especially since we’re only about 10 people reading here :)

Stage 4
UAE rode for Pericas🇪🇸 (2nd in GC, 30 seconds behind Quintana (🇨🇴 Movistar)) in El Padrun, and it was a small peloton that was left for San Esteban de las Cruces. Pericas🇪🇸 produced his attack but couldn’t gain a meaningful gain. Cadena (🇲🇽 Stork/Bau), winner of stage #3 and 6th then attacked at least 3 times: the first 2 times, he was followed by Quintana🇨🇴 and one or two other riders; however he managed to break away alone on his last attempt. He managed to finish the climb alone, and then it was like yesterday, with the downhill and the flat, he could stay ahead and win the stage.
GC gaps got tighter, but it was insufficient to change drastically the General Classification, as gaps made on Stage 2 were still a bit too important. Only S. Fernandez (🇪🇸 Caja Rural) went from 3rd to 5th, as his little group never managed to catch Quintana🇨🇴’s little group and lost a few seconds.
