Vicioso Gives Astaná-Würth Win

Ángel Vicioso (Astaná-Würth) took victory in Tour de Suisse stage 4 by hanging tough ahead of a hard charging peloton. The 29 year-old Spaniard, escaping with David Herrero (Euskaltel-Euskadi) with only six kilometers remaining, gave his squadra a much needed win after their recent troubles. Belgian Nick Nuyens (Quick-Step) finished safely in the bunch behind keeping the race leader's jersey.

The peloton faced up to 151 kilometers of racing today under blazing sun: from Niederbipp to La Chaux-de-Fonds with two Cat. 3 climbs.

Affairs were exciting from the get-go with a 14-man escape. The escape eventually came to nothing but contained 1997 Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich, who is showing superb form on the eve of Suisse's mountain stages and the 2006 Tour.

A longer lasting move went free shortly afterwards. Italian Marco Fertonani (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) jammed it off the front and was joined by Belgian Rik Verbrugghe (Cofidis) and Frenchman Sylvain Calzati (Ag2R Prévoyance). The dynamics were never that great, making it easy going for José Angel Gomez Marchante (Saunier Duval-Prodir) and Linus Gerdemann (T-Mobile) to catch and pass the trio with 25K remaining.

Behind the newly formed duo the teams of Lampre-Fondital, for Bennati, Rabobank, for Freire, and Quick-Step, for Boonen/Nuyens, were cranking-up the pace. The duo's gap, heading over the top of the final Col de la Tourne climb (-23K), was nothing.

Soon it was curtains for the Spanish/German duo and the tifosi were bracing themselves for a sprint showdown. Rabobank and Quick-Step were keeping the peloton perfectly strung-out, single file and gasping for air in the final 10K. But the sprint teams were blind-sided by a last minute attack from Vicioso and Herrero (at -6K).

Screaming into La Chaux-de-Fonds, The Spaniards kept the gap locked around 15". No one really would bet on the duo staying away, but it worked. The Spanish union fooled the sprint teams. Vicioso out-sprinted his compatriot to take a much desired win for his newly renamed Spanish/Kazakh formation. Behind it was Bennati taking third in front of Freire.
