Stage 4 - February 4: Calabona-Manacor, 159.8 km
Second win for Davis
 |
Liberty Seguros sprinter Allan Davis has notched his second stage win in four days in the Challenge Illes Balears, beating Erik Zabel (T-Mobile) and Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) in a 40 rider bunch sprint. The race lead stayed with local rider Antonio Colom (Illes Balears-Banesto), who will no doubt be under pressure from the three Kelme riders on the same time when the Challenge finishes tomorrow.
Today's stage from Calabona to Manacor was run over 160 km in pleasantly mild 14 degree temperatures. Numerous attacks saw a rapid pace imposed from the beginning, and by kilometre 35 the peloton had split into two groups. After 67 kilometres, a group of 10 riders formed in front: Jokin Ormaetxea (Costa Almeria), Thomas Ziegler (Gerolsteiner), Brian Vandborj (Team CSC), Rudi Kemna and Remco Van der Ven (Bankgiroloterij), Jose Cayetano Julia (Comunidad Valenciana-Kelme), Fernando Torres (Cafes Baque), Carlos Barredo (Liberty Seguros), Maarten Den Bakker (Rabobank) and Constantino Zaballa (Saunier Duval).
This 10 man breakaway built up a lead of approximately 2'00 by kilometre 94, but was not allowed much freedom by the fast moving peloton. Zaballa took the meta volante sprints at Llucmajor (km 87) and Felanix (km 114) as well as one of the special sprints at Campos (km 102), while Jose Cayetano claimed the day's only mountain sprint at Son Tovell (km 142). Shortly after this point, the break was captured by the fragmenting peloton, which still had plenty of momentum for a bunch sprint in Manacor. Once again, Allan Davis proved that he has excellent form at the moment by leading the field home.
Tomorrow's final stage of the Challenge is from Magaluf to Palmanova over a fairly hilly 149 km parcours.
