64th Tour de Suisse - 2.HCSwitzerland, June 13 - 22, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 4 - June 16: Fribourg-Verbier, 156 kmHervé gains the lead while Ullrich's shows form
Today's stage of the Tour de Suisse, running between Fribourg and Verbier (156 km) was more mountainous than any encountered so far, and was to be an important test for many of the race's protagonists. The race finished on a tough 1000 metre climb in Verbier, which split the field considerably. Yesterday's leader, Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) did not have the legs to stay at the front and he lost his jersey to Polti's Pascal Hervé, who won the stage. Hervé soloed in 39 seconds in front of Swiss Oscar Camenzind (Lampre) who now lies third on the overall classification. Surprisingly and importantly for his confidence, Telekom's Jan Ullrich lies second overall, after he finished 7th today, 53 seconds behind Hervé. Ullrich was at the front until the last kilometre, where he lost 14 seconds to the main leading group. Stage 1 winner, Fred Rodriguez (Mapei) also showed that he is not just a sprinter, placing one spot behind Ullrich in Verbier. The final break formed within 10 (uphill) kilometres of the finish, when eight riders moved away: Dufaux (Saeco), Camenzind, Ullrich, Hervé, Rodriguez, Nardello (Mapei) Teterjouk (Liquigas), and Zanetti (Vini Caldirola). Hervé attacked the group, gaining up to a minute before he lost a little in the last kilometre. Initially, he was hesitant in attacking because he was working for teammate Richard Virenque, however when he saw Dufaux and Camenzind suffering, he went for it. Other more faniced riders lost significant ground today: Stefano Garzelli (Mercatone Uno - 67th at over 10 minutes down) and Francesco Casagrande (Vini Caldirola - 10th at 2.12 behind). Garzelli's GC race is over, and Casagrande is not looking too great either. Hervé will have a battle to keep his jersey in tomorrow's 30 kilometre time trial in Sierre, and we may well see Ullrich in yellow once more.
