Impey wins stage, Loosli assumes race lead
By Jean-François Quénet in Marmaris, Turkey
 |
South Africa's Darryl Impey from Barloworld caught his first win of the year and the second of his pro career on a slippery circuit in Marmaris. In a front group of nine riders, he outsprinted Italy's David Malacarne (Quick Step) and David Loosli (Lampre) from Switzerland. Loosli took over the lead of the general classification from Mauro Finetto (CSF) who struggled towards the end of the race and lost two minutes.
A spectacular crash changed the destiny of the finale when defending champion David Garcia Dapena (Xacobeo-Galicia) and Markus Fothen (Milram) had attacked and gained almost ten seconds over the rest of the break. But the pair crashed with 3km to go, just as it seemed they were on their way to contesting the stage win in a two-man fight.
"This was a hard stage today because of the weather and the slippery roads. I was lucky not to come down," said Impey, who last won in stage six of the Herald Sun Tour last year.
Impey's win came at the right time following his third place in the bunch sprint the day before in Marmaris. "We're coming close to the Giro, I'm happy to show that I'm good form for the selection," he said. Barloworld's wildcard for the Tour of Italy was awarded last week, but the Italian team will not be able to contest the Tour de France this year as they apparently must pay for the misbehaviour of Moises Dueñas who went positive last July.
In the Lampre team, Loosli is scheduled for the Tour de France, not for the Tour of Italy unless his excellent condition changes the mind of his staff. "I haven't raced since Milan-Sanremo, but apparently I've done some good work at home," said the rider from Bern who was no stranger to the Tour of Turkey. "I love this race, I did it last year and I was delighted when my team asked me to come back."
He successively placed eighth in Istanbul, seventh in Kusadasi and sixth in Bodrum prior to getting the third place in Marmaris that gave him the four seconds he needed to claim the yellow jersey. "I'm happy to be in yellow and I hope to keep the jersey until Sunday," Loosli explained. "But Garcia Dapena remains the number one favourite. He's backed by a superb team. We'll see how it goes. Seven riders are still in contention for the overall win."
One of them is Malacarne who is only at nine seconds. The 21-year-old from Venice who was the junior world champion for cyclo-cross collected his first top three as a professional, but he had a lot of regrets. "I should have won this stage," he lamented. "Impey made a wave and it made me lose two pedal strokes. I wasn't the fastest for the finish but I was the strongest in the hills. I made the mistake to attack though. I should have saved myself for the sprint. Anyway, I'm happy with my performance. It gives me confidence for the future and that's the most important probably."
Impey's team-mate and compatriot Robert Hunter, who was the first African to win a stage in the Tour de France (2007), had to pull out because of a deep cut under his left knee. 15 riders were forced to retire, mostly due to crashes.
How it unfolded
 |
The participants of stage four in the 45th Presidential Tour of Turkey were so crazy at the start that it was impossible for anybody to break clear. The peloton was cruising over 60km/h in the first ten kilometres. A slight rain appeared after 18km of racing while race favourite Kevin Seeldrayers (Quick Step) was forced to pull out due to a bad night caused by diarrhoea.
In the category one climb of Tuzabat whose summit was located after 65.3km, three riders broke clear: Gustavo Cesar Veloso and Gonzalo Rabunal Rios (Xacobeo-Galicia) with Giampaolo Cheula (Barloworld). With 70km to go, Cesar Veloso gave up while Mauro Facci (Quick Step) counter-attacked and he was imitated a few minutes later by Olivier Kaisen (Silence-Lotto). With 61km to go, the junction was made: Rabunal, Cheula, Facci and Kaisen were three minutes ahead as the Acqua e Sapone team decided to take care of the chase at the head of the peloton.
In the second category climb with 50km to go, 10 riders went away from the bunch: David Garcia Dapena, Cesar Veloso (Xacobeo-Galicia), Mauro Finetto and Filippo Savini (CSF), Alessandro Donati (Acqua e Sapone), Darryl Impey (Barloworld), David Loosli (Lampre), Radoslav Rogina (Loborika), Markus Fothen (Milram) and Davide Malacarne (Quick Step). They joined the four leaders with 37km to go.
Donati rode fast in the downhill. Malacarne and Jan Valach (Elk Haus) joined him. With 25km to go, a new group of riders was formed in the front: Garcia Dapena and Cesar Veloso (Xacobeo-Galicia), Malacarne (Quick Step), Pieter Jacobs and Christophe Brandt (Silence-Lotto), Fothen (Milram), Valach (Elk Haus) and Donati (Acqua e Sapone). They were soon reinforced by Loosli (Lampre) and Impey (Barloworld).
Malacarne was the first rider to split the front group. Garcia Dapena countered him with 8km to go, followed by Fothen but the two slipped and crashed with at the 3km to go mark. Although they had only nine seconds lead, they got back on their bike prior to getting caught, but the chasers made the junction with 2km to go. Jacobs started the sprint after the last corner. Impey was on the right wheel and passed him right on time to win stage 4.
