Nozal gets his golden jersey
By Hernán Alvarez Macías

Unai Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi) won the fourth 151
km stage of the Vuelta España between Santander and Burgos, beating teammate David Etxebarria (Euskaltel) by 44 seconds and Félix Cárdenas (Labarca-2 Café Baqué). It was Unai's first win in a major race, and it came after he was part of a successful eight man breakaway that escaped with around 100 kilometres to go. ONCE's Isidro Nozal was also part of the break, finishing sixth in the stage and taking over the leader's golden jersey.
Unai's win came after he attacked the lead group just before Quintanaortuño with 15 km to go, knowing that his teammate David would be marking the chasers. He increased his advantage while the rest of the break stopped working. "We tried to win here today and we finally made it," said Etxebarria post-stage. "At one moment, we thought the peloton was going to catch us, but fortunately that didn't happen. It's a long race and to win here is very important. Now my team is much more relaxed after obtaining a triumph in the fourth stage".
Isidro Nozal (ONCE-Eroski) was able to realise ONCE director Manolo Saiz's plans at last. "It's very nice to have the maillot oro especially for all my team," said Nozal. "I don't know for how long I will stay with this jersey, we'd better go day by day. I'd like to give my maillot to Marcos Serrano tomorrow. The important thing is that our team retains the leader's jersey."

Angel Casero (Team Bianchi) seemed to be in better condition than in the previous days. "I felt much better than in the previous stages. What happened in the Mirador del Fito is over, it's in the past. I had 20 very bad kilometres. Now I look forward to the next stages. I feel a lot of confidence for the time trial in Zaragoza and we will see how things go because this is a very long race."
How it unfolded
The race started without Cadel Evans, who had broken his collarbone in yesterday's stage, and Oscar Mason (Saunier Duval), who didn't take the start because he was sick. The peloton negated the first attempts to breakaway until Cárdenas, Nozal, Leonardo Piepoli (Ibanesto.com) and Carlos García Quesada (Kelme) got a gap on the tough Cat. 1 Alto del Escudo (km 55.7). At the top they had 57" to the peloton, which was breaking up into smaller groups.
On the second climb (Puerto de Carrales km 70), the race split into three different groups. The front riders, a chasing group with 10 riders or so and the peloton also split into two. The leaders were 40" in front of the chasing 10 and the main peloton was 40" ahead of the second group. 20 kilometres later, the leaders numbered eight: Cárdenas, Nozal, Fabian Jeker (Milaneza), David Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Unai Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi), José Gutiérrez (Kelme), Oscar Laguna (Relax-Fuenlabrada) and Jurgen Van Goolen (Quick Step).

Fassa Bortolo wanted to limit the gap to the front riders in order to put Alessandro Petacchi in a good place to win his 12th Grand Tour stage this year. But with less than 30 km to Burgos, the eight leaders had a difference of around a minute, and coupled with the fact that Petacchi was struggling, it was enough time to reach the finish in front of the peloton.
With 20 km to go, the gap had increased to 2'17 and five kilometres later, Unai Etxebarria placed an attack that no-one reacted to. The Venezuelan Euskaltel rider was able to increase his lead all the way to the finish in Burgos to win.
Stage 5 - September 10: Soria natural-Zaragoza, 166.7 km
The fifth stage is a 166.7 km ride between Burgos and Zaragoza. There is only one small climb in it, Alto de Lanzas Agudas (3rd category, 680 m), and the route is almost completely flat. There are three intermediate sprints in Soria, Aldealpozo and Maleján. It's another transition stage and another opportunity for a breakaway or for the world class sprinters participating in this Vuelta to shine. It's very likely that Isidro Nozal will retain his golden leader's jersey.
