Jesús David Peña (Jayco-AlUla) soloed to the first win of his pro career on stage 4 of the Tour of Slovenia, going clear 10km from the line in Kobarid.
Peña's teammate Filippo Zana takes over the race lead after finishing 17 seconds down in the chase group on the mountainous queen stage.
Jayco-AlUla went to work on the second ascent of the day's first-category climb at Kolovrat with the team pushing on at the front and both Peña and Zana getting away.
They'd go clear with Ben Zwiehoff (Bora-Hansgrohe), Paul Double (Human Powered Health) and Lorenzo Fortunato (Eolo-Kometa), while Diego Ulissi (UAE Team Emirates) would later make it across.
First-year pro Double went on the attack midway up the 10km 9% climb before Zana caught and passed him to go solo 4km from the top. His time at the front came to an end on the descent, though, with the Italian champion going straight at a corner and crashing, leaving Peña to come through and go clear.
Peña himself encountered problems during the run-in, with a gear problem hindering him as Ulissi and Fortunato drove the three-man chase group as Zana sat on.
