Stage 4 - February 15: Ecija - Ronda, 162.1 km
Petacchi 2 - Boonen 0
|
That's the score in the Ruta del Sol, after Alessandro Petacchi (Milram) again showed his superior speed at the end of stage 4, forcing Tom Boonen into accepting second place. In fact, the top three was identical to the previous stage, with Rabobank's Graeme Brown finishing third again. Significantly for the general classification, Carlos Garcia Quesada (Unibet.com) finished fourth and kept his lead over Rodrigo García Rena (Kaiku), although both share the same time. Tomorrow's stage will therefore be very important for each rider.
"It was a harder sprint than usual," said Petacchi. "Because there was a climb that finished in the last 300 metres, and as a result we didn't launch the sprint like we normally do, but it was done on pure power. During the stage, my teammates did a lot of work to bring back the break. Only in the finale did Boonen's men lend a hand as well. In the sprint, my teammates got mixed up and I was on his [Boonen's] wheel. Trenti led out Tom in the last 200 metres and I came around him, gapping him immediately."
How it unfolded
The 162.1 km stage was run between Ecija and Ronda, and contained just two Cat. 3 climbs. It was a hard stage to get away on, however, as it took until kilometre 54 before a breakaway was established. Jan Hruska (3 Molinos) initiated it, and was joined by Frank Vandenbroucke (Unibet.com), Benoît Joachim (Discovery Channel) and Oleg Chuzhda (Comunidad Valenciana). Although VDB was in the break, Unibet still controlled the pace in the peloton, and limited the gap to just five minutes.

Petacchi's blue-clad Milram boys took up the chase and gradually pulled back the breakaways. Chuzhda was the first to be dropped, while the other three held on until they were inside the final kilometre. Quick.Step and Milram combined to lead out the sprint, and although Boonen got a good tow from his teammate Trenti, it was Petacchi who proved to be the more powerful sprinter at the end.
There was also a crash in the finale, involving Pedro Luis Marichalar (Andalucía - Paul Versan) and Andreas Klier (T-Mobile), which split the peloton. Second placed on GC Rodrigo Garcia was caught behind the split, but the race jury eventually ruled that he should be given the same time as the winner.
Tomorrow will see the fifth and final stage of the Ruta del Sol, a 172.6 km journey between Olvera and Sevilla. It should suit the sprinters again, with just one Cat. 3 climb, but the battle between Carlos Garcia Quesada and Rodrigo Garcia will be very tight.
