Dunk i hovedet til Concordia rytterne

nullDagens 220 kilometer lange og ekstremt hårde etape i Vuelta Mexico blev mindst lige så hård som ventet for danske Team Concordia Forsikring. Daniel Holm Foder tabte ca. 15 minutter, mens Nikola Aistrup, Thomas Riber-Sellebjerg, Philip Nielsen og Kaspar Schjønnemann tabte ca. 22 minutter. Derudover måtte Thomas Just og Thomas Oredsson opgive undervejs og er således begge ude af løbet.

Etapen startede med en stigning på ca. 20 km, hvor rytterne nåede op i næsten 2.500 meters højde, hvor-efter feltet var splittet i små grupper. Herefter fortsatte etapen med hård vind og stigninger - hele tiden mere end 2.000 meter over havets overflade.

Det endte med at 31 ryttere fik slået et kæmpe hul, og da de skulle afgøre etapen mellem sig, var Luis Fernando Macias (Rock Racing) hurtigst i spurten, mens holdkammeraten Oscar Sevilla tog andenpladsen og Davide Frattini (Team Type 1) tredjepladsen. I den samlede stilling er det også stadigvæk Rock Racing succes, med Francisco Mancebo i løbets førertrøje.

Torsdag køres løbets femte etape fra Tlaxcala til Cuautla på 175 kilometer. Rytterne starter i 2.500 meters højde og ender i ca. 1.300 meters højde, men stadig med et par gode stigninger undervejs. Ud fra etape-profilen skulle det dog være en etape Team Concordia Forsikring rytterne kan forsøge sig, hvis der da ikke er helt udsolgt efter de seneste dages strabadser.
