OMAN. Prima vittoria stagionale di Sagan. Terzo Nibali

PROFESSIONISTI | 21/02/2014 | 12:26
Peter Sagan ha rotto il ghiaccio. E lo ha rotto con fragore, vincendo la quarta tappa del Giro dell'Oman al termine di un'azione d'attacco portata avanti con Vincenzo Nibali e Rigoberto Uran. La prima parte della frazione è stata caratterizzata dalla lunga fuga di Huffman (Astana), Popovych (Trek), Van Avermaet (BMC) e Wallays (Topsport Vlaanderen, poi nel finale si sono succeduti vari tentativi di attacco in salita - ci ha provato ancora anche Froome - fino all'azione decisiva. E domani l'arrivo sulla Montagna Verde promette davvero spettacolo.
Per Sagan (e per la Cannondale) si tratta della prima vittoria stagionale, giunta dopo tre secondi posti, e della conferma del feeling che lo lega alla corsa asiatica, dove vince ormai da tre anni di fila. Alle spalle dello slovacco in volata, secondo posto per Rigoberto Uran e terzo per Vincenzo Nibali, al primo piazzamento di rilievo della stagione. Sagan è anche il nuovo leader della classifica generale.
Soddisfazione evidente nel tweet di Vincenzo Nibali: «Un po' di prove generali!! Oggi un buon terzo posto ma la condizione migliore deve ancora arrivare. E complimenti a Peter Sagan!».
Notizie preoccupanti, invece, in casa Trek, visto che Andy Schleck ha perso rapidamente terreno ed ha chiuso la tappa con 17 minuti di distacco dai migliori.
