Cummings wins longest Tirreno-Adriatico leg, Stybar leads (The Associated Press)
Stephen Cummings of Britain rode solo to victory at the end of the fourth and longest stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico on Saturday while Zdenek Stybar retained the overall lead. ”We were trying to do a stage for Edvald Boasson Hagen, we thought that he was the best chance for today, he’s in super form,” Cummings said. Salvatore Puccio of Team Sky edged out Cummings’ teammate Natnael Berhane to finish second, 13 seconds off the pace after more than six hours of cycling on the 216-kilometer ride from Montalto di Castro to Foligno.
