Zabel's hat-trick

By Gabriella Ekström, cyclingnews.com correspondent

A massive crash near the front of the peloton with two kilometres to go put an effective end to most teams' winning plans at the end of today's fourth stage. Only a dozen riders escaped and among them were super sprinters Zabel and Freire, alongside important Mapei and Telekom leadout riders like Luca Paolini and Alberto Elli.

Zabel looked like a certain winner, but Oscar Freire offered tougher resistance today than he did during the two first stages of the Vuelta. Zabel fought him off by 'closing the gate', forcing Freire closer to the right side fence. The movement might have been irregular, but it is not clear if Zabel actually saw Freire coming. The Spanish sprinter grabbed Zabel's leg, in order to clear some space, and both Freire and his team mate Luca Paolini had verbal protests as the riders passed the line. Zabel who admitted no errors, was ushered to the podium as the winner of the stage.

The long break of the day was created by Rabobank's Karsten Kroon and Colchon-Relax rider Cesar Garcia Calvo. Karsten Kroon took ten points on the second category Puerto Ventana, and took over the lead in the mountains classification from Millar, while Garcia Calvo took enough bonus seconds to earn the green sprint jersey.

The duo had 2'30 with 35 kilometres to go, and with 20 kilometres left to race the gap was down to 40 seconds. Garcia Calvo managed to win the final intermediate sprint, before the duo was caught by the peloton. A number of attacks went off from the peloton, and among the frisky riders were Richard Virenque (Domo-Farm Frites), Alessio Galletti (Saeco) and Juan Carlos Guillamon (Jazztel).

With 7 kilometres to go, Telekom had regained order at the front and were preparing the sprint for Eric Zabel. Both Saeco and Domo had riders in the Telekom train and the final kilometres inside Gijón were very fast - the speed reached 75 km/h in some places. With two kilometres to go, a couple of riders hooked up close to the front. The street was lined with cars and it is possible that some of the riders were trying to avoid the cars when the crash occurred. Although only a dozen riders actually fell, they effectively blocked the whole street and the main group finished 22 seconds down on the winner. Alessio rider Endrio Leoni hit a car when he fell and was lifted onto a stretcher before he decided to finish the stage.

Colombian Kelme rider Santiago Botero finished twelfth on the stage, 16 seconds behind Zabel, and took over the lead from Millar by four seconds. Third in the general classification is Pedro Horillo (Mapei) who is 11 seconds behind Botero.
