The fourth stage of the Vuelta a Catalunya ended in another bunch sprint, but not one for Erik Zabel. The German had been dropped with 79 other riders (two thirds of the pack) and was 26 minutes behind the winner, Gabriele Missaglia (Lampre) on the day.

The stage between Badalone and Barcelona was 158.4 kilometres and was marked by some fast riding early on. Despite the fact there were several cateogry 3 climbs to cross, the average speed at the end of the day was close to 43.5 km/h. A group of 40, including many of the favourites (Escartin, Heras, Tonkov, and Cañada) escaped halfway, and quickly built a lead. They had 12 minutes on the bulk of the field coming into Barcelona, where the race finished on a six lap circuit culminating with the ascent of the famous Montjuic climb.

Although they had a sizable lead, the pace never dropped and they finished the race nearly half an hour in front of most of the field. Missaglia was the quickest sprinter, beating Cantina Tollo's Gian Paolo Mondini and Mapei's Paolo Bettini in the rush for the line.

Spanish team ONCE lost their grip of the top 5 positions, but still retained the leader's jersey with David Cañada now leading by two seconds from Santiago Blanco and Francisco Tomas Garcia (Vitalicio Seguros). They are followed by a bevy of Mapei riders.

The 80 finishers that eventually came in were well outside the time limit, but will start in tomorrow's 159 kilometre stage from Argentona to Rosas in the interests of preserving some spectacle to the race.
