"Yesterday was tough and so was today. My team tried to keep control of the race and they did it again. I was able to win because it was hard today," explained Oscar Freire after his third consecutive stage win at the Race Of The Two Seas. Commenting on his battle to get out of a tight spot with Markus Zberg, World Champion Freire said, "You always have to fight if you want to win!" Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) was second behind Freire, while Petacchi was boxed in and finished 5th.

How it unfolded

Stage 4 began on a windy, sunny Saturday morning at 11:27 in Teramo, with 177 riders taking the start; non-starters were American Chris Horner (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Jakob Storm Piil (CSC), Joseba Beloki (Liberty), Steve Zampieri (Phonak) and Daniele Nardello (T-Mobile). At the first intermediate sprint in Comunanza (66km), it was Freire who took the time bonus ahead of Hushovd and Petacchi. The front group of sprinters including Freire, Petacchi, Hushovd and Hincapie continued to ride hard as the peloton sat up, and suddenly there was a break of all sprinters climbing up to the GPM at Montefalcone Appennino (74km). Eventually the gruppo picked up the pace and it was gruppo compatto atop the climb, where Paulinho beat Carrasco for the points, while Brad McGee (FDJ.Com) showed some signs of life for 3rd with the group at 15". Mario Cipollini (Liquigas) and about 20 others came off on this ascent and became the autobus group of Stage 4.

Things stayed together as Rabobank's Kolobnev and Löwik humped away on the front until the second KOM approached in Rapagnano (124km). Two riders were on the attack, Bo Hamburger (Acqua Sapone) and Iker Flores. Hamburger cooked Flores, who dropped back, but a countermove of two riders, Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step) and Pietro Caucchioli (Credit Agricole) got across to the Dane. The two Italians eventually fried Hamburger and kept going for another 25 km, but their lead never exceeded 0'30 as the Rabobankers just kept pounding away on the front.

With Boogerd now chasing on the front for Rabobank, Bettini and Caucchioli finally came back after 25km of freedom at Villa Berarde on the final climb with 12km to go. Panaria sent Tiralongo on the attack and his acceleration finally closed the gap on the two escapees. As soon as the front duo was swallowed, young talent Matej Mugerli (Liquigas) made a perfect counterattack and got caught up the general battle up front. Up the final ascent of Monte Vidone, the high pace blew the gruppo into three chunks.

On the final run-in to Servigliano, Freire was superb, covering every move with incredible ease, getting across to an attack by Vicioso and Sella. But Petacchi and his Fassa Bortolo boys were still there and pulled back the front group. With 10km to go, DiLuca (Liquigas) made a dramatic solo attempt, with Caruso (Liberty) and Tiralongo joining him. But Rabobank's Boogerd and Fassa's Petito eventually pulled back this escape, even though Petacchi jammed his derailleur at the top of the climb with 7.5km to go and had to chase hard to get back in down the final descent.

In the final sprint, the 30 strong front group was disorganized and Fabrizio Guidi (Phonak) made the first jump. Petacchi was boxed in and Hondo (Gerolsteiner) surged up the right of the road. But Freire fought out of the block of Hondo's teammate Zberg and jumped hard, passing Guidi and Hondo on the left for his third straight stage win, further extending his lead in the Race of the Two Seas in Servigliano.

Stage 5 - Sunday, March 13: Saltara Circuit, 170.4km

Stage 5 is on the same circuit in the Province of Pesaro-Urbino, where the Italian Pro championship was run in 2003, won by Paolo Bettini. It's a 14.2km circuit that will be repeated 12 times, with two intermediate sprints in Lucrezia (66.3km) on the fifth lap and Calcinelli (97.2km) on the seventh lap. There are two GPM's Sunday: Cartoceto on the 10th lap (130.8km) and on the final lap (159km). With less than 2km to the finish, there is a steep pitch of 10% for 500m.
