Tour de Picardie - 2.1

France, May 18-20, 2007

Stage 4 - May 20: Belleu - Laon, 91.5 km

Stage 4 was the second of two stages, and also the final stage in the Tour de Picardie. Janeck Tombak (Jartazi Promo Fashion) took the win by two seconds over Alessandro Proni (Quick Step - Innergetic) and four seconds over Martin Elmiger (Ag2R Prevoyance). Robbie Hunter (Barloworld) kept his leader's spot for the final overall win.

Of his win, Hunter told ASO organizers according to their website www.letour.fr, "There is no little victory, especially when you suffered for it. Today, it was very hard, with the rain, the wind and a crazy little climb five kilometres. That's why I am so happy to win today. And maybe this victory could help us to get a wild card for the Tour. Actually, it was one of our goals here."

The race started at a mellow pace. Maarten Tjallingii (Skil-Shimano) instigated an early attack and got up to 1:50, but Hunter's teammates were not about to let go of control of the race.

Hunter's Barloworld teammates kept the pace high with a view toward ensuring another big bunch sprint at the end, a tactic that would let Hunter keep his overall winnning spot. However, Jimmy Engoulvent (Credit Agricole) still managed an attack later in the race. He was caught with about five kilometers to go. That's when Tombak countered and launched his own attack.

Tombak was going for not only stage victory, but the winner's jersey. He had to make up a 16 second deficit, but only managed seven seconds over Hunter at the end. Even with the six bonus winning seconds subtracting from his margin, the Estonian fell three seconds short.
