RONDA Pilipinas Stage 4 winners at the podium.

LUCENA CITY – Mark Julius Bordeos of Bicycology-Army reclaimed the individual lead even as Standard Insurance-Navy dominated Stage 4 with a 1-2-3 finish to regain the team lead in the LBC Ronda Pilipinas 10th anniversary race that started in Daet, Camarines Norte and ended here yesterday.

Ronald Lomotos, 25, topped the grueling 206-kilometer stage ahead of fellow Navymen Junrey Navarra and El Joshua Carino to complete a 1-2-3 finish for Standard, all clocking four hours, 56 minutes, and 28 seconds.

Bordeos came in an 18-man second group that clocked 4:57:31 to bump off Jerry Aquino Jr. of Scratch it from the lead and repossess the LBC red jersey he wore in the first two stages.

After four stages, the 24-year-old Bordeos has total time of 14:41:17, or just six seconds ahead of George Oconer of Standard and Rustom Lim of 7Eleven Cliqq-Air21 by Roadbike Philippines, who have identical clocking of 14:41:23.

Aquino, who snatched the lead following a dramatic Stage 3 triumph in Naga City the day before, slipped to fifth with 14:42:07 behind No. 4 Marcelo Felipe of 7Eleven with 14:41:39.

“Nice to have the jersey back,” said Bordeos, who zoomed to the top by ruling Stage 1 in Sorsogon last Sunday
