In a finish at pure speed, Christofer Jurado (Panama is Culture and Values) won the fourth stage of the Tour of Chiriquí. The Panamanian emerged victorious after racing 99 kilometers around the city of David, while his teammate Alex Strah became the new leader of the race.
In the end, the group of 15 cyclists controlled the race, stopping attacks in the last meters, defining everything in the sprint, in which the Canalero rider took the victory ahead of his compatriot Roberto González (Rali-Giant) and the Costa Rican Pablo Luis Mudarra (Team Colono Bikestation Kölbi).
At the end of the stage, the new leader of the tour declared to the accredited media: “The team’s work has been spectacular, thank God we maintain the leadership, since Sandi Guerra, who is my castmate, also dressed with this garment,” said Alex Strah.
On the other hand, the young Colombian cyclist Brayan Quintero became the best sub-23 of the Vuelta a Chiriquí 2024, after arriving with the favorites on the first mountainous day of the Panamanian round.
