Stage 4 - June 16: Kang Leung - Yang Yang, 149.5 km

New leader in Tour of Korea

By Gudo Kramer, Marco Polo/worldwidecycling.com

Today's fourth stage of the Tour of Korea saw a break go that cost David McCann (Giant Asia) the lead. In the break were the now first and second placed riders on GC, Shinri Suzuki and Cory Lange (Marco Polo Cycling Team).

Lange had almost won the mountain finish on Stage 2, as he rode solo with 5 km to go to the finish, but was caught 6 inches from the line by McCann. He is in good form and seems to have the best legs on the climbs, so he will use the climbs that are still coming up in the next stages to attack Suzuki.

Lange is aiming for a spot in the Canadian Olympic team.
