Vitaliy Buts (Kolls Cycling Team) wygrywając czwarty, królewski etap Grand Prix of Sochi umocnił się na pozycji lidera. Bardzo ładnie spisali się kolarze BDC MarcPol. Kamil Gradek był piąty, a Paweł Bernas siódmy.
Sobotni etap był najcięższym w tegorocznej edycji rosyjskiej etapówki. Wiódł z miejscowości Novomikhailovsky do Gelendjik i liczył aż 216 kilometrów, a po drodze na barwny peleton czekały cztery premie górskie.
Od początku następowały liczne odjazdy, aktywni byli m.in. Marcin Sapa i Robert Radosz (obaj BDC MarcPol), jednak przewaga każdej z ucieczek nie była większa niż 2 minuty.
Bardzo czujnie jechali kolarze z Rosji i Ukrainy, dla których ten wyścig jest jednym z ważniejszych w sezonie. Grand Prix of Sochi jest dla nich przepustką do lepszych drużyn i startu w Mistrzostwach Świata.
Ostatecznie na metę dojechała duża grupa, z której najszybciej finiszował lider, były kolarz Lampre – Vitaliy Buts. Wysoko uplasowali się zawodnicy BDC MarcPol, Gradek przyjechał piąty, zaś Bernas siódmy.
Tak podsumował królewski etap Dariusz Banaszek, dyrektor sportowy BDC MarcPol:
„Jestem bardzo zadowolony z postawy moich zawodników na dzisiejszym etapie, byli wszędzie tam, gdzie powinni być, do tego dwóch z nich zajęło miejsca w pierwszej dziesiątce. Rosjanie do tego wyścigu przygotowują się od miesięcy, my wchodzimy w sezon, tym bardziej cieszy mnie ich dzisiejsza jazda. Cała drużyna pojechała na medal, do BDC przychodzi forma!”
Jutro ostatni etap o długości 178 kilometrów z jedną premią górską.
