STAGE 4: Italian Massimo Apollonio (Tacconi - Vini Caldirola), won the sprint that decided the fourth stage, which was held between Oña and Medina de Pomar (184 km), while Spanish rider Juan Miguel Mercado (iBanesto.com)
held on to the overall lead. There were early attacks on this hot day by Fabio Roscioli (Jazztel-Costa de Almería), who was joined by Francisco Cerezo (CSC-Tiscali) by km 22. On the first descent of the climb of Bocos (km 45), they were joined by Toni Tauler (Kelme-Costa Blanca) and together they opened a five-minute advantage. The trio would get caught on the second climb of Bocos, with the peloton rejoining with 22 kms to go. The last portion was raced at a very high pace and in the end Apollonio dominated the sprint.
