Stage 4 - April 20: Castione della Presolana - Clusone, 153.6 km
Laverde is green
By Jean-François Quénet in Clusone
Felipe Laverde Fiavè from Colombia has won stage 4 in the Settimana Lombarda in a one-two for his Formaggi Pinzolo team, with Italian Fortunato Baliani coming second. "This is my first one-two as a directeur sportif," said a proud Riccardo Magrini, who was Marco Pantani's coach last year but was known for being the singer of the bunch during his time on the bike, which didn't prevent him from winning a stage to l'Ile d'Oléron in the 1983 Tour de France.
Seven men were been away for most of the day: John Freddy Garcia (Colombia-Selle Italia), Przemyslaw Niemec (Amore e Vita), Adam Wadecki (MROZ), Sandro Guttinger (Macandina), Jurgen Van de Walle (Vlaanderen), Mauro Zanetti (Tenax) and Joseba Albizu (Mercatone Uno). The Polish rider Niemec was the last one to stay away after the last and very hard climb where the same riders as the two previous days showed up: Graziano Gasparre (Colpack), Steve Zampieri (Vini Caldirola), Alberto Perez Cuapio (Panaria), Giuseppe Muraglia (Pinzolo), Jef Peeters (Vlaanderen), Tim Jones (Amore e Vita) and José Castelblanco (Colombia-Selle Italia) who disappeared from the front because of a problem with his chain.
Muraglia, Zampieri and Jones were the best on the climb. They even dropped race leader Perez Cuapio, but he got back on thanks to the help of Paolo Lanfranchi. In the downhill to Clusone, there were 13 riders in the front, including three from Formaggi Pinzolo, with Baliani in addition to Muraglia and Laverde.
"It was Muraglia who attacked first and I counter-attacked when he got caught," Laverde explained. "I'm very happy to win this stage because it was a very demanding race today. This is my third year in Europe, my second year pro and my first win." Laverde is a 23 year old Colombian who comes from Medellin. He started cycling when Duitama hosted the world championships in 1995 and he took part in his first Giro d'Italia last year coming 14th in stage 16 and 31st overall. There's should be more to come from this rider who is not only a climber.
