The pro racers stayed South of the equator visiting Argentina for the Tour de San Luis These early season races are an opportunity for the established racers to work on their form and for the youngsters to show people what they've got. It is also a time when some of the lower level teams get their one chance during the season to match up with the big dogs.
This year the overall race winner was Daniel Diaz, a local pro from Argentina.
This week's challenge visits Argentina and celebrates the local's victory with a bit of Malbec mayhem.

Washington Malbec v. Argentina
This is the time of year that the pro riders are looking for warmer places to ride. Like the Malbec grape, many riders are heading South.
Malbec has migrated South from France and setup shop in Argentina in the last half-century. At the present time many people associate Malbec with Argentina rather than its original home in France. While Malbec is typically a blending grape in most parts of the world, it is often seen as a single varietal in Argentina and more recently in Washington.
This week's matchup features a Washington Malbec taking on a Southern Hemisphere challenger from Argentina.
