40th Vuelta Ciclista a la Rioja - 2.4Spain, April 28 - May 1, 2000Main Page Results Previous day's resultsStage 4 - May 1: Haro - Logroño 147.6 kmPerdiguero comes good at lastSpanish rider, Miguel Angel Martín Perdiguero (Vitalicio) saved his best result until last in the Vuelta a Rioja today by winning the final stage and the overall classification in the process. Although he had second and third placings on the preceding days, the sprinter managed to conquer the mountains once more today to be in a position to win as the race finished in Logroño. Tour leader, Angel Vicioso (Kelme) was forced to relinquish his jersey to Perdiguero, as he could only manage fourth today. Despite the hilly terrain, the mountains were located a fair way from the finish, allowing Perdiguero some recovery, aided by his Vitalicio team. Seven riders finished on the same time, an indicator of the tough battle at the top of the GC today. Vitalicio decided to keep the speed high in order to prevent any attacks in the hope that Perdiguero would win, and the whole stage was conducted at 42 km/h, despite several mountains to overcome. Banesto became an unlikely supporter as they tried to set up Candido Barboso (yesterdays winner) for the sprint as well. On the first category ascent of the Alto de la Herrera, a group of 20 riders formed containing all the GC contenders - Vicioso and Heras (Kelme), Jiménez, Borbosa, and Garmendia (Banesto), Perdiguero, Santiago Blanco and Iván Parra (Vitalicio), David Cañada (ONCE) and Pinturas Banaka's best rider, Manuel Calvente. Iñigo Chaurreau, of Euskaltel-Euskadi won the climb, taking the overall climbers classification in the process. Vicioso was suffering and needed all the efforts of his team to hold on. David Cañada attacked on the last climb, the second category Alto de Bernedo with 20 kilometres to go in an attempt to steal the overall. He had around a 30 second lead for 10 kilometres before he has evenutally caught through some very hard chasing by Banesto and Vitalicio. This was the last breakaway, and the 20-odd riders came into Logroño for the final sprint. This time, Miguel Angel Martín Perdiguero made no mistake as he crossed the line first, taking the win and the overall classification by virtue of having more higher placings than the other riders that finished on the same time.
