TT win propels van Garderen into Ruta del Sol lead

Tejay van Garderen powered into the race lead at the Ruta del Sol Saturday with a victory in the stage 4 time trial.

The BMC rider registered a time of 27:05 on the 21km course in Alhaurín de la Torre, besting Wilco Kelderman (LottoNL – Jumbo) by two seconds and Jerome Coppel (IAM Cycling) by seven. Van Garderen now leads the GC by the same margins over Kelderman and Coppel, having claimed the jersey from Sky’s Ben Swift.

Maarten Tjallingii (LottoNL – Jumbo) set a strong early time of 27:40 that held for much of the afternoon before Coppel bested it. The French veteran then enjoyed about a half an hour in the hotseat before being ejected by van Garderen, whose time withstood the efforts of the remaining 23 starters. Kelderman came closest, but he fell just short of unseating van Garderen.

The 27-year-old American will now look to defend his jersey in Sunday’s fifth and final stage, which finishes with a tough climb to Peñas Blancas.

“It’s a big confidence booster but we definitely have our minds firmly set on tomorrow. It’s going to be a tough challenge, but we’re excited,” van Garderen said after collecting his first victory of 2016.

“It was a tail wind on the way out but it was a lot of climbing, and it was head wind on the way back but a bit downhill so it was really hard to pace. You couldn’t go easy on the way out and you couldn’t go easy on the way back, so you just had to put your head down and go.”

Having several in-form teammates on hand should help van Garderen in pursuit of the overall title Sunday; Brent Bookwalter took fourth in the stage 4 time trial and Samuel Sánchez nabbed seventh.

“When you look at the results list, you can definitely tell that BMC prepared well over the winter,” van Garderen said.
