Stage 4, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat - Cerdanyola del Valles, 166.6 kms:Marco Pantani, who won an earlier stage in the Catalaanse Week did not start today. The Italian, who won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia in 1998 fell heavily in the final section of Stage 3 on Wednesday. He has bruised ribs and a toe injury. He rode through the finish line some minute behind the leaders after falling 6 kms from the end. He decided not to start in Stage 4. In addition to Pantani (Stage 2 winner), Swiss Bruno Boscardin and German Marcel Wust winners respectively of the first and third stage also abandoned the race today.Italian Giuliano Figueras (Mapei-Quick Step) won the sprint for Stage 4 from Laurent Jalabert and Niki Aebersold. Overnight GC holder, Colombian Santiago Botero (Kelme-Costa Blanca) and his closest rivals Wladimir Belli, Michael Boogerd and Claus Michel Moller came in with the same time. Today's stage was considered the 'Queen Stage' because it involved two Cat 1 climbs and a Cat 2 climb only 20 kms before the finish. It was a very dull affair however. The leading riders had their teams working to prevent anything surprising happening. Kelme-Costa Blanca practically blocked the whole race and allowed very few moves to occur. None were of any consequence. So, as the race entered the streets of Cerdanyola del Vallés it was clear that a mass sprint was on offer. The most active in the final section was last year's overall winner Michael Boogard. But he was also tightly controlled by the Kelme-Costa Blanca riders. In the end, it was Giuliano Figueras who took his second professional victory (first for this season). He had actually punctured a few kms from the end but was able to regain contact quickly. The last day is divided into two stages - the first starting and ending at Cerdanyola del Vallés (67 kms) and the second the traditional 12 kms ITT in the Olympic park of Montjuic in Barcelona.
