Poker for Petacchi
Alessandro Petacchi delivered his fourth ace in the Oddset Rundfahrt, winning the fourth and longest stage in Duderstadt. After nearly 200 km, the stage ended in a modestly sized bunch sprint, with Petacchi able to beat Graeme Brown (Rabobank) and Danilo Hondo (Team Lamonta) after he was almost isolated in the lead group. He increased his lead in the general classification to 22 seconds over Brown, with Hondo in third at 24 seconds.
"Today I felt really good," said Petacchi. "In the finale, I intervened four or five times to neutralise attacks, because my team had given a lot since the start. In the end, I ended up with only Rigotto with 25 others, and he helped me stay in front in the final metres. Now, all that remains is tomorrow. It will be a tough stage, as least as hard as that of today, only a little shorter. I hope that my teammates recover because now we want to win the overall classification."
Team director Antonio Bevilacqua added, "Today, my team please me a lot. They gave 110 percent to help Alessandro, and there is a fantastic atmosphere in the team. Petacchi is a charismatic leader, but at the same time human and with a word for everyone. They feel it and give their all. Tomorrow will be very hard because we have different rivals at a handful of seconds. If they unite, it will be really difficult. Our only advantage is that everyone of our rivals hopes to save their own positions on GC. We will see."
