Sagan zum vierten Mal schneller als Haussler

Die Peter-Sagan-Festspiele bei der 7. Auflage der Kalifornien-Rundfahrt gehen auch nach der 4. Etappe nicht zu Ende.

Der 22-jährige Slowake vom italienischen Liquigas-Cannondale-Rennstall entschied auch das 209,6 Kilometer lange Teilstück von Sonora von Clovis im Sprint für sich und machte damit seinen vierten Tageserfolg in Folge im US-Bundesstaat perfekt.

Zum vierten Mal landete der in Freiburg lebende Australier Heinrich Haussler (Garmin-Barracuda) auf Platz zwei. Dritter wurde Hausslers Landsmann Michael Matthews (Rabobank). Hinter dem Belgier Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) sprintete der Eisenhüttenstädter Roger Kluge (Argos-Shimano) als bester Deutscher auf Platz fünf.

Mit der morgigen fünften Etappe dürfte die Siegesserie Sagans jedoch vorerst beendet sein. Das 29,7 Kilometer lange Einzelzeitfahren von Bakersfield wird vor allem die Siegersanwärter auf den Gesamtsieg auf den Plan rufen. „Morgen werde ich das Trikot verlieren und ich werde mich von ihm verabschieden müssen. „Ich bin kein guter Zeitfahrer, aber es gibt danach vielleicht noch andere Möglichkeiten“, gab Sagan nach der Etappe zu Protokoll.
