1st Giro Riviera Ligure Ponente - 2.4Italy, February 21-24, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 4 - February 24: Savona-Savona, 159.5 kmIvanov's win, Bodrogi overall
The final stage of the four day Giro Riviera Ligure Ponente came down to the wire, as Hungarian Laszlo Bodrogi hung on to win his first stage race by just 2 seconds from Alessio's Andrea Ferrigato. Bodrogi placed third in the final stage from Savona-Savona, won by Fassa Bortolo's Sergei Ivanov. However, Ferrigato finished second and moved tantalisingly close to the overall with the time bonus he collected.
The 159 kilometre stage saw a potentially dangerous attack by Coppolillo, Lunghi, Gonzales and Farazijn. Away for much of the day, they were only caught with 1 kilometre to go, through the work of Fassa Bortolo and Mapei. Petito and Frigo then did the job for Ivanov, giving the Fassa Bortolo team the win, making up for Konyshev's second place a couple of days ago. It was an important win also for Bodrogi, who greatly impressed his Mapei team director during the race, and performed admirably on the final stage.
