Gabriele Balducci (Tacconi Sport-Vini Caldirola) won the first half-stage of day 4 of the Tour Méditerranéen, between Aigues Mortes and Béziers. Balducci beat Mapei's Stafano Zanini and Ag2r's Jaan Kirsipuu in yet another bunch sprint. But the real drama happened with 300 metres to go when race leader Ivan Basso (Fassa Bortolo) was caught up in a fall, and was unable to start stage 5, giving Davide Rebellin the lead in the race.
