ABU DHABI, VIVIANI SHOW

PROFESSIONISTI | 22/02/2018 | 12:15
Continua il momento d'oro di Elia Viviani: il veronese ha vinto alla maniera forte la seconda tappa dell'Abu Dhabi Tour. Perfetto il lavoro della Quick Step Floors fino ai 300 metri, poi è stato il veronese in prima persona ad avere l'intuizione di prendere la ruota di Van Poppel e a saltarlo poi in maniera netta. Secondo posto per l'olandese, terzo per il tedesco Ackermann con Kristoff quinto e Niccolò Bonifazio piazzatosi all'ottavo posto.

Per Viviani, che ha conquistato anche la maglia rossa di leader della corsa, si tratta della quinta vittoria stagionale, la 55esima della carriera.

Tappa esplosa in maniera spettacolare a 40 chilometri dal traguardo quando un ventaglio, creato dalla Lotto Soudal di Andrè Greipel, ha spaccato il gruppo. Nel plotoncino davanti, tra gli altri, Aru, Valverde, Bennati, Ewan, Kittel, Rui Costa e Alaphilippe. Tutti pancia a terra per più di venti chilometri, poi il ricongiungimento tra i primi due spezzoni del gruppo quando - cambiata la direzione della corsa - il vento non soffiava più in maniera favorevole agli attaccanti. Elia Viviani, che era rimasto nel secondo troncone è rientrato piuttosto agevolmente, mentre è stata una giornata difficile per Andrea Guardini che è riuscito a rientrare in gruppo a meno di otto chilometri dal traguardo di Yas Beach.

Continua il momento difficile per Marcel Kittel che è il vero e proprio "caso" di questo inizio di stagione: la Katusha ha lavorato in maniera perfetta per tutto il giorno, poi all'ultimo chilometro il tedesco è spartito dai radar e non ha nemmeno disputato la volata.
