World Champon Oscar Gomez Freire took his second consecutive stage
win today on the fourth stage of Vuelta a Aragon, 186 kms from Jaca
to Borja.
The stage was marked by strong crosswinds, and this split the field
into several parts by the end. An early attack by Steffen Wesemann (Telekom),
Patrice Halgand (Jean Delatour), Sandro Bertolini (Alessio) and Juan
José De Los Angeles (Kelme) set the tempo going, and by kilometre 99,
they had over six minutes. They were chased by Massi (Cantina Tollo),
but he was too far behind to bridge the gap. All the escapees were caught
within the next 60 kilometres as Piepoli's Banesto team and Mapei started
to drive.
In the closing kilometers Kelme's Rubeira, placed fourth in the orange
points jersey, found himself in a group behind the small leading peloton.
Despite hard work from his Kelme team mates, he wasn't able to catch
up. In the front group, US Postal and Banesto did most of the job and
in the final kilometre the Posties set up the perfect train for Julian
Dean. First, Ekimov more or less sprinted passed the one kilometre banner,
then Armstrong took over and finally Hincapie, before the young New
Zealander broke off from Hincapie's wheel. But with Oscar Freire, Marcel
Wüst and others as opponents, he couldn't take fullest advantage of
the chance given to him by the team.
It was finally Freire who managed to advance between Wüst and the barrier
on the right hand side of the road to win, half a wheel ahead of Laurent
Brochard with Wüst in third. Thereby Freire also took over the orange
points jersey. Rubeira in the second group came in 37 seconds behind,
thus losing his fourth place and also the orange jersey.
