Brief

Italian cyclist Elio Aggiano achieved his first professional victory and the also the first for his new team Vitalicio Seguros, when he won the fourth stage with Dutchman León van Bon (Rabobank) taking over the general classification.

"A win that counts as two", was how he described it. Aggiano was the strongest and most astute in the final section of the 179kms stage. He cemented his victory in the last 20kms, on a category four climb. Spaniard Martín Perdiguero (Kelme) went over first together with Dane Rolf Sorensen, Dutchman León Van Bon (Rabobank), Spaniard David Etxeberria (ONCE) and Belgian Nico Mattan (Mapei). Aggiano was with this group.

Until then the stage was pretty calm, due to the control by certain teams with riders in good overall position, with only a few futile escape attempts by the Estepona Brepac and Euskaltel Euskadi teams. Then in the finale, the Vitalicio Seguros and Rabobank teams exploded. The final kilometers were very interesting, with almost constant attacks from the peloton.
