DOWN UNDER. Ancora una sorpresa: Von Hoff

PROFESSIONISTI | 23/01/2015 | 06:35
Ancora un vincitore a sorpresa in questo inizio di stagione: c'è la firma dell'australiano Steele von Hoff (UniSA) sulla quarta tappa del Tour Down Under, la Glenelg - Mount Barker di 145 km. La frazione è stata caratterizzata da numerosi tentativi di fuga: prima ci hanno provato Hepburn (Orica-GreenEdge), Kennaugh (Sky), Pineau (FDJ) e Bobridge (UniSA), poi è stata la volta di Tleubayev (Astana), Belkov (Katusha) e Serry (Etixx-Quick Step), infine nel finale hanno tentato Luis León Sánchez e Lars Boom (Astana) e Ion Izagirre (Movistar Team) ma nessuno ha avuto fortuna. E in volata Von Hoff ha preceduto Impey e Wippert con Niccolò Bonifazio, sesto, che ancora una volta è stato il migliore degli italiani. Da segnalare proprio nello sprint una grande caduta che ha letteralmente spaccato il gruppo: in tanti sono finiti a terra, ma sembra che nessuno abbia riportato - per fortuna - serie conseguenze.
In classifica generale resta al comando l'australiano Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing Team) .
