Stage 4 - March 4: Caravaca-Collado Bermejo, 146.6 km
New leader on the Collado Bermejo
Carlos Garcia wins stage; Santos Gonzalez takes lead
Santos Gonzalez (3 Molinos Resort) is the new leader of the Vuelta a Murcia after placing sixth in the crucial fourth stage between Caravaca and Collado Bermejo. Gonzalez finished the day 38 seconds behind winner Carlos Garcia (Unibet.com), who beat Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Fondital) and Emanuele Sella (Panaria) for the stage honours. Overnight leader José Ivan Gutierrez (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) crossed the line in 15th, just behind his teammate Alejandro Valverde, but the 18 seconds he conceded to Gonzalez was too much.
How it unfolded
With three Cat. 1 climbs on the menu for the fourth stage, it was always going to be the toughest test for the riders, and half a dozen of them had a chance of taking the GC lead at the end of the day.
The first breakaway came at the foot of the Cat. 1 Alto Campo De San Juan after around 15 km, when local boy José Luis Martinez (Comunidad Valenciana) attacked with Egoi Martinez (Discovery Channel), José Mario Almagro (Relax-Gam), Ruben Perez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Isidro Cerrato (3 Molinos Resort) and Aitor Galdos (Ceramica Panaria-Navigare). Egoi crossed the summit first, and the group increased its advantage over the bunch to five minutes by km 47.
At the sprint in Barranda (km 57), it was José Luis Martínez first ahead of Rubén Pérez and José M. Almagro. The break thinned down to four after 90 km, with Rubén Pérez, Egoi Martinez, José Luis Martinez and José María Almagro the survivors. At the sprint at Pliego (km 110), Rubén Pérez was quickest ahead of José Luis Martinez and Egoi Martinez. The peloton was still 3'20 behind, but the toughest part of the stage was to come.
At the foot of the Cat. 1 Alto de Espuña, the group was just 44 seconds ahead of the very hungry peloton, and despite a valiant effort by Egoi Martinez to stay clear, it was to no avail and he was absorbed after four kilometres of climbing. Carlos García Quesada (Unibet.com) made his move then, and distanced the peloton, crossing the summit with a 20 second gap over Ezequiel Mosquera (Comunidad Valenciana) and Santos Gonzalez (3 Molinos Resort), with Jose Ivan Gutierrez still in contact.
There was no real descent, however, as the road climbed the Collado Bermejo. Garcia Quesada was determined to stay away, but a strong counter move by Damiano Cunego nearly caught him. However, Garcia Quesada held strong and Cunego came three seconds short. At the finish, Gutierrez was led home by luxury domestique for the day, Alejandro Valverde, but he too needed three more seconds to stop Santos Gonzalez from taking the lead.
Tomorrow's final stage is a relatively straightforward stage around Murcia, over 138.7 km, and it seems unlikely that Gonzalez will lose the lead to Gutierrez again.
