Miguel Martin Perdiguero takes stage four sprint
|
Spanish cyclist Miguel Angel Martin Perdiguero, riding in the zebra stripes of Acqua & Sapone, has won the fourth stage of the Setmana Catalana that finished in a bunch sprint. Perdiguero managed to hold off Erik Zabel, already winner of two stages in this race, while Phonak's Stefan Kupfernagel managed third.
The overall classification did not change with Juan Miguel Mercado (iBanesto.com) holding a 15 second lead over Telekom's Giuseppe Guerini and 27 seconds over Serhiy Honchar (Fassa Bortolo).
The stage began quickly with several small attacks, all of which were unsuccessful. After the first sprint at Berga (20.5 km) won by Erik Zabel, the riders tackled the category 2 climb of Alto de la Mina (km 31.6). Mountains leader Joan Horrach (Milaneza) was first to the top followed by teammates Gonçalo Amorim and Rui Lavarinhas.
On the descent, Rabobank's Bram De Groot escaped and was not immediately chased by the peloton. His advantage crept up to one minute before Angel Castresana (ONCE) and Rafael Casero (Jazztel) chased and caught him at kilometre 57. The trio worked together to increase their gap to a maximum of 3'44 with 52 kilometres to go.
Casero won the Cat. 3 Alto de Santa Maria de la Guarda (km 126) as the peloton started to chase. Casero and Castresana got rid of De Groot, who was quickly absorbed by the bunch. However, the leading pair didn't last much longer and were swallowed up with 13 kilometres to go.
The sprint was a long straight drag strip, with Acqua & Sapone doing the lead out for Perdiguero. Erik Zabel was safely tucked behind him in the orange points jersey, but couldn't come round him and Perdiguero hung on to win the stage.
Tomorrow sees the final stage of the Setmana Catalana between Vic and Sabadell, over 144.0 km.
