59th Paris-Nice - 2.HCFrance, March 11-18, 2001Main page Course Profile Results Previous stage Next stage Stage 4 - March 15: Tarascon - Sisteron, 195.6 kmZülle impresses, Van Petegem holds lead
Swiss rider Alex Zülle riding in the black and yellow colours of Team Coast has won the fourth stage of Paris-Nice, a 196 kilometre leg through Provence, including the mighty Mont Ventoux. Zülle broke away with Potuguese rider Jose Azevedo (ONCE) with 8 kilometres to go and the pair held off the bunch to win by 4 seconds. Peter Van Petegem (Mercury-Viatel) finished with the main group, and preserved his white leader's jersey. The stage was animated by an attack from Nicolas Vogondy (FdJ) and Lauri Aus (Ag2r), who broke away before Mont Ventoux and succeeded in holding off the field to Chalet Reynard, the location of the mountain sprint. Vogondy was stronger, and stayed away by himself to win the next climb, Col de l'Homme Mort with 58 kilometres to go. Two spanish climbers, Marcelino Garcia Alonso (CSC-Worldonline) and Inigo Chaurreau (Euskatel) left the bunch to try and join him - without success.
At 18 kilometres to go he passed the finish line for the first time, closely followed by the peloton that was being driven by Mercury-Viatel and ONCE. On the slope of the Marquise he was caught, and there was an immediate counter-attack by Halgand (Jean Delatour) and Vinokourov (Telekom). They failed, but Zülle and Azevedo succeeded in mounting an escape of their own with 8 kilometres to go. Banesto and Euskaltel were leading the chase, but they did not close the gap and Zülle came across the line in Sisteron as the winner, a rare occurrence for the bespectacled stage race/time trial specialist. Peter van Petegem had a comfortable enough day where he was able to stay with the leading 60 riders to preserve his white jersey before tomorrow's longest day, 240.3 km between Berre l'Etang and Saint-Raphaël.
