20-year-old German Tivani, riding for Argentina, claimed the biggest victory of his career by out-sprinting his breakaway companions to win stage 5 of the Tour de San Luis.
Tivani defeated defnding Tour de San Luis champion Dani Diaz (Deklo Marseile Provence KTM), and Emiliano Ibarra (S.E.P San Juan) in a three-man dash for the line.
The breakway did not threaten the lead of Eduardo Sepulveda (Fortuneo-Vital Concept), who kept his three second advantage on Dayer Quintana (Movistar) and his brother Nairo at 42 seconds.

In what was on paper a perfect day for the sprinters, the race seemed to be going to script. A four-man breakaway escaped early in the stage, being allowed five minutes before the sprinters' teams slowly began reducing the gap.
The honours went to Ramiro Cabrera (Uruguay), Ibarra, Tivani and Diaz for the day's leading group.
The four riders were kept in check by the Fortuneo-Vital Concept team of race leader Eduardo Sepulveda and the Italian National Team for Elia Viviani, and things were running smoothly.
