Stage 4 - May 4: Sierre-Leysin, 144.4 km (86 km)
Zülle at his best in snow-shortened stage
Frigo suffers in the cold

Weather-wise, it doesn't get much worse than this in cycling: cold, driving rain for four days straight followed by a mountain top finish in the snow. That has been the situation in the Tour de Romandie this week, with the organisers being forced to cut out two mountain passes in today's 'Queen Stage' from Sierre to Leysin. Whether that affected the outcome of the race is difficult to say, as leader Dario Frigo certainly struggled in today's finish to Leysin, losing 27 seconds to stage winner Alex Zülle (Team Coast).
Zülle looked very strong today, and would be cursing the accident in stage 1 that caused him to lose 1'13. He is now in 11th overall, 1'11 behind Frigo, who should still claim overall victory when the race finishes with a time trial in Lausanne tomorrow.
The stage was originally planned for 143 kilometres, but was reduced to 86 when the organisers decided that the conditions on the climbs of Col des Planches and Villars-sur-Ollon were too dangerous. That meant a flat prelude to a mountain finish, and more wet and cold riders.
Double stage winner Giovanni Lombardi (Acqua e Sapone) was a non-starter today, unsurprisingly as the last two stages certainly wouldn't suit him. He obviously decided not to risk a crash or illness in light of the upcoming Giro d'Italia, where he will be an important man in Mario Cipollini's squad. Fabrizio Guidi (Team Coast) was another non-starter, as were Robert Bartko, Biagio Conte and Guido Trenti.
Two riders tried to gain a head start before the climb: Marc Wauters (Rabobank) and Denis Zanette (Fassa Bortolo). Attacking after 48 kilometres, the pair built up a maximum lead of 39 seconds - hardly enough to give them much breathing space on the climb. As Tacconi Sport and Phonak drove the peloton up to the foot of the climb with 20 km to go, the two were caught, their efforts wasted.
Tacconi stayed on the front with Steve Zampieri doing an excellent job of tempo making for his leader Dario Frigo. Alex Zülle was right on Frigo's wheel as the peloton slowly thinned down, and the rain turned into snow on the climb up to Leysin.
Aitor Gonzalez (Kelme) made the first attack with 5 km to go, but was quickly countered by Frigo. But then Gonzalez' teammate Santiago Perez put in a big effort to get clear of the leading group, and hovered 10 seconds in front of them. Perez needed to make up 33 seconds on Frigo, but he started to lose ground as Cadel Evans (Mapei) tried to bridge. Evans helped to reduce the leading group to 10 with 2 km to go, Frigo still there.
 |
Andrea Noč (Mapei) and David Moncoutie (Cofidis) took the opportunity to jump across to the persistent Perez, and the three rounded the last corner with less than 1 km to go looking to fight out the stage win. But right behind them, Evans put in another effort to close the gap, succeeding this time and finally shaking Frigo loose. That was the springboard for Alex Zülle, who flew off the front with 300m to go to take the win, with Moncoutie and Perez clinging to his wheel.
"I felt good today," said Zülle, whose team is still smarting from being left out of the Tour de France this year. "My team worked well for me. I was only sure I would win with 100m to go."
" Today I won and I am happy. Now I will get warm and recover. Tomorrow is tomorrow," he added in reference to the time trial.
Frigo lost a surprisingly large amount of time in a short distance, with 27 seconds his deficit at the finish. However, his nearest rivals Moos and Verbrugghe also lost time, so Frigo retained the lead with one stage to go. That stage is an 18 kilometre time trial starting an finishing outside the Olympic stadium in Lausanne, and Frigo should perform well in it and win the Tour de provided he didn't go too deep today.
