Catalunya, stage 4: Bouhanni wins; van Garderen defends lead

Mar 23, 2017

After losing the stage 1 sprint on Monday, Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) rode to redemption in stage 4 of Volta a Catalunya Thursday, ahead of FDJ’s Davide Cimolai and Orica-Scott’s Daryl Impey, second and third, respectively. American Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing) kept the overall lead on a day that was shortened to 134km due to bad weather but still included a difficult category 2 climb with about 20km before the finish in Igualada, Spain.

“This win is very satisfying,” said Bouhanni. “On Monday, I launched my sprint too far out, about 250 meters to go on a false flat. I knew that finish; I’ve won there before. That was my mistake. I was very frustrated to lose by two centimeters. I wanted to make up for it at all costs in this fourth stage, and I did.”

Organizers elected to start the race at a lower elevation, cutting out about 60 kilometers of riding, as the stage originally started in Llivia at 1,177 meters elevation. The day’s two categorized climbs, the Cat. 3 Alt del Pubil and Cat. 2 Turo del Puig, remained in the route. Five men formed the day’s early breakaway: Jose Gonçalves (Katusha-Alpecin), Martijn Keizer (LottoNL-Jumbo), Matteo Boni (UAE Team Emirates), Diego Rubio (Caja Rural), and Juan Felipe Osorio (Manzana Postobon).

Katusha-Alpecin’s GC hopeful Ilnur Zakarin went down in a crash before the final 30 kilometers as the pace ramped up, but he was able to carry on.

On the stage’s final categorized climb, the breakaway was caught, and 22 kilometers from the line, Osorio put in one last desperate bid to stay away. But the Colombian was bound to be caught on the Turo del Puig.

Astana’s Jakob Fuglsang and Dario Cataldo attacked first, and though the latter didn’t last out front, Fuglsang carried on alone with 14km to go. Orica-Scott was not about to let the Dane stay away and brought him back with a display of force on the front of the peloton.

Ag2r La Mondiale’s Romain Bardet was next to attack, and Quick-Step’s Dan Martin followed. They didn’t get a gap on the peloton, but softened things up enough for Movistar’s Marc Soler to make a more promising attack. His teammate Alejandro Valverde followed, as did Sky’s Chris Froome and FDJ’s David Gaudu.

However, with five kilometers to go, the peloton had the four in sight and made the catch, with a few remaining sprinters eager to contest the finish.

FDJ made its intentions clear in the final kilometers, putting a sprint train on the front of the peloton. Inside the final kilometer, the team’s French national champion, Arthur Vichot took charge of the lead-out. His sprinter Cimolai, winner of stage 1, jumped with the line in sight, but Bouhanni was comfortably position on the Italian’s wheel. The Frenchman sprinted to a decisive win, his second of the season and third career stage win at the Volta a Catalunya.

Though the sprinters stayed in contention over the climbs on Thursday, Friday’s stage 5 will be a day for pure climbers and GC favorites, with an uphill finish at Lo Port, a 1,000-meter climb at the end of a 182km day.
