Piepoli wins epic stage to Andorra
|
33 year-old Italian Leonardo Piepoli (Saunier Duval-Prodir) has taken out a scintillating fourth stage of the Volta a Catalunya. The win is the first professional victory of the year for Piepoli and for his team, and is just about equal in stature to his emphatic stage victory at last year's Vuelta a España, where he won the ninth stage from Xátiva to Alto de Aitana.
Today's decisive stage featured two Category 1 climbs, both reaching more than 1,850 metres in altitude, with a mountain-top finish at the Pal ski station in Arinsal (Andorra) at the end of a 237.7 kilometre-long day.
On the final climb, only two other riders could stay with the flyweight Italian - Discovery Channel's Yaroslav Popovych and Illes Balears' Aitor Osa, who both finished on the same time, after just under six-and-a-half hours in the saddle. As a result, 25 year-old Popovych, the best of the three on the overall classification at the start of the stage, 10 seconds off the pace, moved into the race lead. Osa is second, overnight leader Miguel A.M. Perdiguero (Phonak), who finished ninth on the stage at 49 seconds, is third, and Piepoli is fourth.
|
Other excellent rides were achieved by Quick.Step's Michael Rogers, who came fourth and is now 10th overall; Frenchmen Pierrick Fedrigo (Bouygues Telecom), Christophe Moreau (Credit Agricole) and David Moncoutie (Cofidis), 5th, 6th and 7th on the stage; and eighth-placed Italian Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner), who is also in the top 10 on GC. Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) also showed signs of a return to top form, placing 17th and is now 13th overall.
Tomorrow's stage offers no respite, and will invariably decide the ultimate winner of the race. On the cards is a 17.1 kilometre mountain time trial from Sornas to the Ordino ski station at Arcalís that climbs from 1300m to 2220m in altitude, with half of that elevation gain in the final 9.3 kilometres.
