Stage Preview
Report:German Marcel Wust (Festina) won stage 4 between the Madrid suburb of Las Rozas to Salamanca over 185.6 kms. 32-year Wust is leading the Vuelta and achieved his third consecutive sprint win in this year's race. He beat Italian Giovanni Lombardi and Russian Sergueď Ivanov. After 5 stages he now has a 29 second lead over Australian sprinter Robbie McEwen and 0.35 to South African Robert Hunter, who won stage 1. Wust is smart. He got among the Telekom team as it was lining Lombardi up for the sprint.He said: "I am without doubt the best sprinter and it is the best who wins. I have also profited from the work of Telekom." He has also benefitted from the absence of Mario Cipollini and is starting to sound like the Italian. Before Wust powered his way to the finish the peloton had to contend with a major attacking move from 6 riders stimulated by Laurent Jalabert with help from Italian Andrea Tafi. Jalabert said: "I am bored just sitting in the peloton and doing nothing." It is Jalabert's first race back since injury in the Tour of Castillion. Two Russians - Andrei Zintchenko and Viatcheslav Ekimov, two Italians Wladimir Belli and Gianni Faresin, joined Jalabert and Tafi, and they led the race for 35 kms but never gained more than a minute on the peloton. The 6 were chasing Dutchman Koos Moerenhout who had nearly 6 minutes lead after a early escape. Mourenhout picked up the early premies. Swiss rider Laurent Dufaux abandoned at km 86 (Avila) with an injury to his right leg which was the result of a fall on Tuesday. He will now be missing in the mountains on Thursday. Another unhappy rider during the stage was Belgian Jo Planckaert who fell around 15 kms from the finish. He came in well behind the peloton (12.30). Ironically, his uncle Eddy Planckaert was the last rider before Wust to win 3 consecutive stages (1982). On Thursday, stage 5 ends at Ciudad Rodrigo (160 km) with a major Cat 1 climb over the Alto de Portillo (1240m). Wust said: "I will surely lose my lead tomorrow." An adequate estimation of his climbing abilities. Stage 4, Las Rozas - Salamanca, 196 kms:AVS: 42.553 km/h 1. Marcel Wüst (Ger) Lotus-Festina 4.21.42 2.

Costa Almeria-Amica Chips 1.27 Stage Preview:The 196 kms journey between Las Rozas and Salamanca is rather dichotomised. The start is at an altitude of 710 metres and by half way the riders have climbed to 1690 metres with lots of steady climbing. There are 6 climbs in total including one Cat 2 and one Cat 3. But the rest of the stage is flat. An early breakaway is definitely encouraged by the early climbing but the second half is not conducive for a small group resisting the organised chase of the sprinters' teams. It is likely to be decided in a mass sprint. |
