Volta an Comunitat Valenciana: After the epic victory of Ivan Romeo in stage 3, the fourth day again belonged to Movistar Team. Pablo Castrillo attacked 60 km from the finish, was finally caught 11 km to go by the peloton despite his efforts. But the last word from Movistar Team was to come. Jefferson Cepeda (EF Education Easypost) launched an attack with 8 km to go. It seemed he was going to pull off the victory, until Santiago Buitrago blasted off 500 meters from the line, passed him and won his second stage of the race, which also placed him as the new leader of the GC.
“I can’t describe how happy I am. Today, I was mainly focused on gaining bonus seconds to take the leader’s jersey, and to be honest, the win was quite unexpected.”
-Santiago Buitrago
