Daniel Ricardo Díaz (born 7 July 1989) is an Argentine road bicycle racer for Funvic Soul Cycles–Carrefour. In 2012, he came in second place of the general classification of the Tour de San Luis.[2] He was originally third, but Alberto Contador's results were later voided,[3] which also awarded him the fifth stage of that race since he had finished second behind Contador.[4]
In January 2013, Díaz won the overall classification of the Tour de San Luis, besting second-placed Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing Team) by 33 seconds.[5] He earned the leader's jersey after the mountainous stage 5, where he finished second behind his teammate Emmanuel Guevara.[6] He managed to hold on to his lead until the end of the seven-stage race, scoring another second place on the sixth stage finishing atop the Mirador del Sol, 2 seconds behind Alberto Contador (Saxo–Tinkoff), who placed a strong attack in the closing kilometer.[7]
