The Colombian Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain) won at the summit of Mont Brouilly on Wednesday during the 4th stage of Paris-Nice ahead of the Australian Luke Plapp (Jayco-AlUla), who took the leader’s yellow jersey.
This is the fifth career success for the 24-year-old Colombian climber, who notably has two stages of the Tour of Italy to his name.
He beat Plapp, with whom he had escaped, by ten seconds, and a small peloton with the main favorites by around forty seconds.
The Belgian Remco Evenepoel attacked twice in the last kilometer to finish fourth in the stage but without managing to grab more than two seconds from Primoz Roglic and the other leaders.
