Tour of São Paulo - Simon Strikes again

Tuesday, April 22 the fourth stage of the Tour.

Riders from six countries closed the day with the 97.5 km stage from São Carlos to Ribeirão. Once again, taking the top podium spot was the Scott/ Marcondes Cesar rider Edgardo Simon from São José dos Campos. He won three of the four stages ridden up to that point in the tour.



Crossing the finish line in 2h, 18min, 11s, again in his best style, he beat Francisco Chamorro and Brazilian Rider Bruno Tabanez in the final sprint. This result does not change the overall classification, but gives our riders more confidence in their strength and teamwork. Luiz Amorim is leading and Magno Nazaret Scott/ Marcondes Cesar/ S. José dos Campos is in second, 3 seconds behind.

The Team Standings have Scott on top at 40hs, 44min 34 sec.
