Vuelta a Burgos - 2.1Spain, August 7-10, 2000Main Page Results Previous Stage Stage 4 - August 10: Medina de Pomar-Burgos, 164 kmLombardi edges out Sunderland in final stageBanesto's Leonardi Piepoli won the overall classification of the Vuelta a Burgos after the final day ended in a bunch sprint. Piepoli, who took command of the tour during yesterday's mountain top finish, was 39th in today's finale, 164 km from Medina de Pomar to Burgos. The stage was won by Italian speedster, Giovanni Lombardi (Telekom) who edged out Scott Sunderland (Palmans) and Stefano Garzelli (Mercatone Uno) for the win. Kelme's Oscar Sevilla finished second overall at 25 seconds behind Piepoli, and there was a chance for him and his team to attack on the final stage. However, they did not take it and instead a group of nine attacked at kilometre 14: Ginés Salmerón (Jazztel-Costa Almeria), Jan Hruska (Vitalicio), Andrea Peron (Fassa Bortolo), Javier Otxoa (Kelme), Aitor Osa (Banesto), Rafael Mateos (ONCE), Alessandro Guerra (Saeco), Alex Zülle (Banesto) and Inigo Cuesta (ONCE). The latter two dropped back quickly as the seven established two and a half minute gap by kilometre 74, but they never really threatened the overall lead of Sevilla. Banesto were quite capable of setting the tempo, despite losing Jose Maria Jimenez who retired early in the stage, as did Laurent Jalabert. 43 kilometres to go, and it was all back together save for Hruska and Peron, who lasted until 17 kilometres to go after Telekom aided the chase. The headwind made it difficult for any more attacks in the closing kilometres and the bunch sprint was inevitable. 'Climbers' Sunderland and Garzelli pushed Lombardi all the way to the finish, and it needed a photo to separate them. Piepoli's win was the first Italian overall success in the race, and Piepoli credited his team and his sporting directors afterward. The premature abandonments of some of the 'stars' annoyed a few people, who thought they were just getting some kilometres in before the Vuelta. According to some reports though, Lance Armstrong (69th overall) rode extra kilometres after each stage before going back to the hotel.
