Stage 4, Vitoria - Lekumberri, 197 kms:

Dutch cyclist Koos Moerenhout (Rabobank) won his most important victory of his professional career to date when he crossed the line at Lemumberri alone in Stage 4 of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco. It was also his first win of this season. He attacked early with Italians Francesco Secchiari (Saeco-Cannondale) and Daniele de Paoli (Costa Almeria-Amica Chips) but later attacked them and was able to finish nearly 30 seconds ahead of them. He was almost 2 minutes in front of the group with GC leader Laurent Jalabert. The GC positions did not change at the top however with Jalabert leading from Italian Davide Rebellin (s.t.) and Spaniard Bingen Fernandez at 21 seconds.

The stage followed a very typical pattern for the this race. A calm beginning and then a series of hard efforts until a final successful escape by riders who were of no threat to the overal GC. It was shortly before the first climb (there were 5 for the day) - at Zuarrarrate (Cat 2, km 76) when the three riders - Daniele de Paoli, Francesco Secchiari went away with Koos Moerenhout. They opened a gap of nearly 6 minutes and this still didn't pose any problems because the highest ranked rider of the three on the GC was Moerenhout who was nearly 8 minutes down on Jalabert.

Eventually, the ONCE-Deutsche Bank team began to lift the chasing tempo and little by little the gap started to close. They brought it down to a safe 4 minutes and seemed content to leave it around that magnitude. No-one was attacking from the peloton after that to bring the gap down further. The trio at the front then were taking all the intermediate prizes (Mountains, Sprints, Metas Volantes) with ONCE-Deutsche Bank maintaining tempo.

In the second half of the stage the Spaniard Javier Otxoa (Kelme-Costa Blanca) tried to bridge the gap between the peloton and the three out front. With only ten kms to go they had a lead of 3 minutes on the peloton. At this point, on the climb of Zuarrarrate again Moerenhout dropped his two breakaways and rode alone to victory. He made his debut as a professional with Motorola in 1994.
