For the second day in a row, Ronald Geran took the main awards in the celebration this Friday of the fourth stage of the 44th edition of the Independence Cycling Tour, a competition held on the Santo Domingo-Monte Plata-Nagua-San Francisco de Macorís route, on which had a wide route of 205 kilometers.
Geran, who competes for the CSCA Sad Proprete 2000, stayed until the final two kilometers of the race as part of a breakaway that had occurred in the last part of the stage.
