Damiano Cunego (Lampre) outwitted fellow Italian Davide Rebellin of Gerolsteiner and David López García (Caisse d'Epargne) of Spain to win stage 4 of the Deutschland Tour ahead of a small peloton including race favourite Levi Leipheimer (Discovery Channel) and yellow jersey Jens Voigt (CSC).

The category 2 Riedbergpass was the decisive part of the race as the six man lead group of Cunego, Rebellin, López García, Robert Gesink (Rabobank), Leipheimer and Rigoberto Uran (Unibet.com) split up into two groups. Uran spectacularly crashed out of the front group with a free fall over several feet, flying over a water hole and crashing into a hillside containing rocks.

López García managed to bridge up to the remaining leaders Rebellin and Cunego while Leipheimer and Gesink lost more ground on the downhill and eventually were caught by the Voigt group.

Voigt saved his yellow jersey, but said after the race "This was harder than I expected. It was steeper than I thought it would be. At the bottom there were pitches of up to 16 percent. I spent a lot of energy chasing back."

On the other hand sprinter Erik Zabel could not save his jersey, losing it by one point to José Joaquín Rojas, who managed to get fourth place, while Zabel finished in a small group with Paolo Bettini, a good minute behind.

How it unfolded

Another stage of just over 180 kilometres in length and while not as hard as the next stage it did feature a Cat 3 and a Cat 2 climb. The latter is not only over 1400 metres high but also only 15 kilometres from the finish, thereby likely the decision maker.

Jens Voigt regrettably couldn't count on Fabian Cancellara anymore, who did not start in predetermined move that saw the Swiss only be there for help in the TTT and as a helper in the flatter stages. After the real start in Singen near the Bodensee in Southern Germany, attacks opened up immediately.

But the peloton was very attentive and not a single rider could get an advantage past a few seconds.

At kilometre 36 Marco Pinotti and Gerrit Glomser get a slight gap, but Glomser is too well known for being a good mountain goat and the two were also quickly reeled in.

So the next big news was not another attack, but the abandoning of Andy Schleck at kilometre 47. This was another big blow for CSC after the non-start of Fabian Cancellara. Schleck had been suffering in the previous stage from an allergic reaction and had thrown up twice!

The peloton was in an extreme hurry, as after 73 kilometres covered they were 11 minutes faster than the fastest calculated average.

Shortly before the first sprint of the day, at kilometre 76 in Meckenbeuren, Mariusz Witecki (Volksbank) attacked and got the sprint points. Then the peloton crossed the line, led by Piet Rooijakkers (Skil-Shimano) and Robert Förster (Gerolsteiner), who lost the sprinter's jersey yesterday to Erik Zabel.

Rooijakkers accelerated and joined Witecki in the front. Finally the peloton gave in and let the duo get ahead. In seven kilometres they managed to extend the lead to three minutes.

And in another seven kilometres they doubled their lead, as the field was only pre-occupied with the upcoming two climbs of the day.

The feed at kilometre 97 was fortunately save without any incidents. The duo in front continued with a lead of over seven minutes as they headed to the second sprint of the day. That Rooijakkers was ahead of Witecki was less interesting than the fact that Zabel led the peloton and regained the two points versus Förster that he had given up in the first sprint.

At kilometre 111.5, just before the start of the Lindenberg, the first mountain difficulty of the day, the lead was over ten minutes.

They kept most of it and while Witecki crossed the line ahead of Rooijakkers over the top the field arrived 8'50" later. Mountain leader Niki Terpstra (Milram) got the remaining points, making good on the promise that he would try to get some points "if I have the legs."

With a twelve point lead and a maximum of nine points for the stage he was assured of the jersey at the end of the day as long as he would finish within the time limit.

With 57 kilometres remaining the lead was still 8'40" as the duo in front headed on to Austria for a quick 30-kilometre journey into Germany's neighbour.

50 kilometres before the finish an increase in the peloton saw the lead shrink to under eight minutes and the subsequent up and down before the main climb of the day also spelled trouble for some of the non-climbers, who started to get dropped.

With 40 kilometres to go especially Gerolsteiner seemed to be in a hurry to leave Austria again and launch climber Bernhard Kohl up to the Riedbergpass.

This had an immediate impact on the breakaway, which lost another two minutes of its advantage. With the Tour back in Germany at kilometre 156, the third sprint of the day, with 25 kilometres to go, was taken by Rooijakkers in front of Witecki. Zabel added more points in third place, while Förster was already at the back of the peloton, not quite as easy with the uphills as Zabel.

22 kilometres before the finish one Liquigas rider was helping Gerolsteiner, which was at the front with virtually the whole team. Markus Zberg and Sebastian Lang were doing most of the work on the front for the German team. The lead had dropped to 2'15".

The leaders reached the beginning of the climb with about 21 kilometres to go. A sign indicated that there would be a 16% gradient over four kilometres. Gerolsteiner attacked immediately as the climb started. Matthias Russ was slightly ahead of the peloton, but it was able to regain the Gerolsteiner rider. The acceleration dropped the lead down to thirty seconds.

Then it was Rabobank taking over for Robert Gesink, the young multi talent from Holland. The 20 kilometre to go sign was passed with 20 seconds separating the two first groups, with the only about 25 guys left in the main field.

At 19.6 kilometres it was finally for the brave hearts in the front, which was celebrated by an immediate attack of Florian Stalder (Volksbank). This initiated the break for the climb, as first Caisse d'Epargne was chasing before Damiano Cunego put matters in his own hands. Eventually it was a group of six, with Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Fondital), Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner), David López García (Caisse d'Epargne), Rigoberto Uran (Unibet.com), Levi Leipheimer (Discovery Channel) and Robert Gesink (Rabobank) who charged up the hills, with a desperate Jens Voigt behind, trying to let the gap not grow over an amount that he could still get back on the descent.

With 17 and a half kilometres to go Voigt was only 11 seconds back, so his tactic seemed to work. Just before the top there was a vicious acceleration in the front, with Uran getting the KOM points in front of Cunego and Rebellin. Gesink, Leipheimer and López García missed that last acceleration and had to chase on the way down.

Less than a kilometre into the descent a sharp left hand bend ended in a catastrophe as Uran overshot it, flew off the road and past a little water hole to crash heavily into the hillside with his shoulder taking the brunt of it. He was brought to the hospital immediately.

With 14 kilometres to go Gesink dropped Leipheimer on the descent by taking a lot of risks going into the tight corners. López García did better and managed to claw his way back up to the leaders, which he finally reached after the descent was over, with nine kilometres remaining.

Gesink was trying to encourage Leipheimer to turn on the gas and move up to him so they could work together. Eventually, Leipheimer obliged, while Rebellin and Cunego were still working together very well, with López García sitting on after his solo effort to catch his breathe.

Eight kilometres from the finish Voigt was seen at the front a lot. He only had Chris Anker Sørensen with him in the group and had to do a lot of work himself. The gap to the trio up front was 40 seconds.

The work paid off, as Leipheimer sat up with about six kilometres to go and both he and Gesink were caught by the main chasers a few moments later. That left only Cunego, Rebellin and López García up front with a lead of about 25 seconds at 3.6 kilometres to go.

Now other teams were taking over as well, notably Rabobank, Discovery Channel and Quick.Step-Innergetic.

1.4 kilometres from the finish the front group reached the city limits of Sonthofen, the lead still a comfortable 27 seconds. Cunego led the trio into the last kilometre and the tactics started right then, with all three looking at each other. It was López García who opened up the sprint very early, with more than 500 metres remaining.

Cunego let Rebellin do all the work to bring the Spaniard back and then used his explosive sprint to get past his compatriot, with Garcia getting third and the Voigt group coming in only a few seconds later.

Tomorrow may very well be the day when the overall gets decided as the riders head from Sonthofen to Sölden and have to finish at the dreaded Rettenbachferner. The stage is 157 kilometres long.
