Stage 4 - September 14: Valkenburg ITT, 10.3 km

Voskamp wins TT, but not yellow

By Bert Saarloos*

It promised to be a tight battle for the yellow jersey in the individual time trial (10.3 km). Belgian Christophe Detilloux (Collstrop) held the leader's jersey, but Edwin Dunning (AXA) was classified in the same time, Austrian René Haselbacher (Gerolsteiner) at 4", his Swiss team mate Marcel Strauss at 7", seven riders at 8" and one at 31", all of them members of the successful break in stage one.

The 'best of the rest' was Bart Voskamp, 13th at 1'47". The rider from BankGiroLoterij-Batavus, reigning Dutch time trial champion, won the difficult race against the chrono (two climbs, the first 1 km at 10%), but it did not help him much in improving his position in the general classification. Nor did Stéphane Heulot (Big Mat), second at 9".

René Haselbacher, third at 25", was the big winner of the day. At the top of the GC only Artur Babaitsev (Nürnberger) could limit the damage. The Russian lost 9" to Haselbacher and is now 12" behind the Austrian. Stagiaire Michael Albasini (Fassa Bortolo) is now third, 35" behind. But with thirty riders within three minutes anything can happen tomorrow when the peloton hits the Ardennes.
