The British Ben Turner took the fourth stage of the Tour to Spain on Tuesday, which was played between Susa (Italy) and Vairon (France) and in which Danish Jonas Vingegaard gave the red jersey to Frenchman David Gaudu.
The ineos sprinter, who could not contain the tears after first crossing the finish line, ended up in front of the Jasper Philipsen at the end of the longest day of the 80th edition of the Spanish Round: 206.7 km.
Danish Mads Pedersen, one of the favorites to award the victory, was sixth, while the Venezuelan Orluis Aular entered the eighth place.
In the general classification, Gaudu snatched the red sweater from Vingegaard, despite having both the same time, but the French accumulates better stage classifications since the beginning of the race than the Danish.
During the stage, the Frenchman Valentin Paret-Paintre and the Spanish Carlos García leg left the race.
According to the Soudal Quick Step team, Paret-Paintre, winner this year at the top of Mont Ventoux in the Tour of France, retired due to illness, a hard blow for the formation that had hopes deposited in the Gallic climber.
The fifth stage will be a counterreloj by teams of 24 km traveling through the municipality of Figueres, already in Spanish territory, which will test the coordination of the teams.
