Clásico RCN: Camilo Ardila takes lead after stage win

Camilo Ardila of NU Colombia has taken the lead in the general classification of the Clásico RCN following a decisive fourth stage. The stage began in Ibagué and concluded in Sevilla, Valle del Cauca, after a grueling ascent of La Línea, which reaches nearly 3,200 meters above sea level. Ardila launched a late attack to win the stage solo, ahead of Javier Jamaica.

The competition has caused significant logistical shifts in Ibagué. To accommodate the race route on October 19 and 20, various road closures were implemented across the north, center, and south sectors of the city. The route included key areas such as the Airport roundabout, the Sports Park, and several local landmarks, with traffic being restored gradually as the cycling caravan progressed.
