Stage 4 - August 9: Wehr - Neuenburg, 179 km
Volodimir on top
Ukrainian Volodimir Duma (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago) has won the fourth stage of the Regio Tour in Neuenburg, beating Jens Voigt (Credit Agricole) and Christian Werner (Team Telekom) by over a minute. Duma's compatriot and namesake Vlodymir Gustov (Fassa Bortolo) finished in the main bunch, a minute and a half back, and kept his leader's jersey.
It was the hardest stage today and the riders had to cover a very tough 179 kilometres between Wehr and Neuenburg, with three Cat. 1 climbs on the menu. After around 35 kilometres of racing, a group of 11 riders escaped, including Duma, Voigt, Werner, Patrice Halgand (Jean Delatour), Björn Schröder (Team Wiesenhof), Unai Osa (ibanesto.com), Levi Leipheimer (Rabobank), Marcel Strauss (Gerolsteiner) and Torsten Hiekmann (Telekom).
They quickly reached a two minute lead, which put Halgand in the virtual yellow jersey and prompted a reaction from the peloton. At the feed zone at 73 km, the gap was down to a minute, but a heavy thunderstorm made life difficult. The break entered the Schwarzwald where the three big climbs of the day were located, all the while maintaining a one minute plus lead. Halgand showed his ability and won all three climbs, claiming the mountains jersey from Cristian Moreni.
The leading group began to splinter through the Schwarzwald, and after the third climb at km 136, Halgand, Osa and Strauss found themselves in front, however there was a general regrouping and nine of the original eleven came back together before the first passage of the finish line in Neuenburg.
Volodimir Duma had other ideas, and he attacked with 5 km to go before Neuenburg, gradually increasing his lead over the rest. Over the final 13 km lap, Duma rode clear to over a minute advantage, while most of the rest of the break were absorbed by the peloton. Only Voigt, Werner and Osa managed to stay clear to fight it out for second through fourth places.
Tomorrow the Regio Tour will finish with another tough 172 km stage between Emmendingen and Vogtsburg. Containing another three Cat. 1 climbs, the general classification could certainly still change on the final day.
