Julian Arredondo won stage 2 of the Tour de San Luís atop the Mirador del Potrero de los Funes climb on Tuesday in Argentina. Arredondo (Trek Factory Racing) surged to victory at the close of the 170-kilometer second leg of the seven-stage race after a duel on the finish climb with American Peter Stetina (BMC Racing).
Stetina was second atop the 4.8km, 6.7-percent Mirador del Potrero climb. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) was third.
“It’s a very important victory,” said Arredondo.
Stetina and Arredondo rode into the final 2km alone at the front of the race. With a group of five riders approaching from behind, Stetina attacked inside the final 200 meters, but Arredondo nipped the American at the line.
The Tour de San Luís continues Wednesday with the 175km third stage, from Tilisarao to Juana Koslay. The stage features the Cat. 3 Alto Paso Grande early and a rolling profile.
