Stage 4 - May 23: El Burgo de Osma - La Granja de San Ildefonso, 173.4 km
Colombian triumph
By João Cravo
2002 World TT Champion Santiago Botero has a dream of a Colombian team that could reunite all the best riders from Colombia under the same colours. A dream team that would bring back to the mountains of three major Tours the heydays of the Cafe de Colombia team of Luis Herrera, Fabio Parra and Rafael Acevedo - a team that in the 80's revealed to the European public the high quality of the South American climbers. If 05 Orbitel isn't that team Botero dreams of, it might well be the nest where the Colombian eagles of tomorrow are learning to fly.
Today the joy of winning stage 4 of the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon went to the 30 year old Felix Cardenas, a former stage winner in the 2001 Tour, in which he rode as Kelme rider. Still this stage which included two cat. 1 climbs proved the aptitude of the Colombian team to mountain stages like this one.
On another hot day, 133 riders presented themselves in the main square of El Burgo de Osma to ride a stage that would finish 173.4 km further in La Granja de San Ildefonso.
The winner of the first Meta Volante of the day was Laurent Brochard (AG2R), who didn't disconnect the plug and found himself leading a breakaway group of eight riders. Cyril Dessel (Phonak), Jonathan Gonzalez (ONCE), David Muñoz (Kelme-Costa Blanca), Franck Renier (Brioches La Boulangère), Jose Luis Martínez (Paternina-Costa de Almeria), José Manuel Maestre and German Nieto (Relax-Fuenlabrada) where the companions of Brochard in this adventure.
By km 56, Gonzalez, Renier and Maestre had attacked the break. Six kilometres later they were 1'40" ahead of the peloton that had already swallowed the other five fugitives. When the top of the cat.1 climb of Navafria was passed after km 109.7, things had changed a little in the front line. Jose Pecharroman (Paternina) came from behind to replace Renier in the leading group.
Fresher, and descending better the road to Lozoya, Pecharroman put 35" into Gonzalez and Maestre with the peloton 1'00 behind him. But that was the swan song for the breakaway that would die by km 128.
Benefiting from the work of his teammates, Javier Zapata (05 Orbitel) was first to the top of the cat. 1 climb of Alto de Cotos. Sadly for Zapata the finish line wasn't there but 27 km further on. On the descent, an attack of Didier Rous (Brioches La Boulangère) was followed by the ultimately successful counter-attack of Felix Cardenas, who crossed the finish line 23" in front of a group of 17 riders.
Coming from a persistent injury, Oscar Sevilla showed that his form is still a little short and lost 5'52" to Cardenas. Third in the General Classification just 27" behind the iBanesto boys Mancebo and Menchov is Alex Zülle (Phonak), who is still hoping that the three cat. 1 climbs of tomorrow's stage will run in his favour.
