In the Tour de Futura, Fabio Cristin won the fourth stage, which is the abbreviated hill stage. The Swiss beat striker Isaac del Toro in the final stage. William Jr. Leserve and Lars Krabs finished fifth and sixth.
The fourth stage was cut short due to the heat and Isaac del Toro managed to take the stage win on the mountain track.
However, Fabio Christine caught the Mexican on the final blister just before the finish and the Swiss settled into the final straight with the battle-weary Mexican.
Christine, the professor at Q36.5, is Jean Christine’s older brother. This Swiss golden emblem will become a professional in the UAE next year.
The peloton finished a few seconds behind the day’s winner. William Jr. Leserve and Lars Krabs finished fifth and sixth.
Simon Dalby is the new captain. The Dane takes the lead from compatriot Carl Frederik Bifort.
