Barbosa wins as Fernandez maintains lead
Portuguese rider Candido Barbosa (LA Pecol) has claimed the fourth stage of the Volta a Portugal in a bunch sprint, beating Angel Edo (Milaneza) and Alberto Benito (Antarte-Rota Moveis) in almost a carbon copy of stage 1. 88 riders finished in the lead bunch, including Victoriano Fernandez (Asc-Vila Do Conde), who kept the amarillo leader's jersey for another day.
The stage between Castelo Branco and Coimbra was run over 160 km and included a couple of Cat. 3 and one Cat. 2 climb. Again the warm weather was an important consideration for the riders. The peloton stayed together until the first climb of the day at 22 km, where Gerardo Fernandez (Antarte) led Gustavo Toledo (Paternina) and Christian Climent (Barbot) over. By kilometre 39, a group of seven had established itself in front, with Helder Miranda (Porta da Ravessa), Hugo Lúcio (Barbot), João Silva (Antarte), Rubens Bertogliati (Lampre), Célio Sousa (Boavista), Lorenzo di Dilvestro (MBK) and Jose Elias (Relax).
The peloton wasn't content to let them get too far in front, and kept the gap to a maximum of 5'02 at the intermediate sprint in Gois (km 108). Over the next 35 km, the sprinters teams marshaled on the front to chase them down, and the break ended at the 144 km mark. In the sprint, Candido Barbosa repeated his stage one victory ahead of Edo and Benito.
