COLORADO. VINCE MURPHY, CANOLA QUARTO

PROFESSIONISTI | 11/08/2017 | 07:35

Prima giornata di gara in Colorado per il team NIPPO Vini Fantini e prima TOP 5 conquistata grazie al quarto posto di Marco Canola al termine di una lunga volata finale. Un altro importante piazzamento tra i migliori per il corridore #OrangeBlue, reduce dal successo nell’ultima tappa del Tour of Utah, a testimonianza di una grande condizione fisica. Giacomo Berlato e Ivan Santaromita si mettono in luce nelle 2 azioni che hanno caratterizzato la tappa di Colorado Springs.

LA GARA

Il Colorado Classic 2017 inizia da Colorado Springs con un circuito di 25km da percorrere 6 volte, con altitudine che oscilla tra i 1800 e i 2000 metri e con l’attraversamento del sontuoso Garden of the Gods. La gara esplode fin dai primi km. 6 corridori, tra cui l’#OrangeBlue Giacomo Berlato, intraprendono la prima vera azione di giornata arrivando a guadagnare 4 minuti dal resto del gruppo. In fuga per oltre 100km verranno ripresi negli ultimi giri del percorso. Durante l’ultima salita dell’ultimo giro, quando ormai la pioggia ha preso il posto del sole, Ivan Santaromita, con Manuel Senni (BMC) e Simone Petilli (UAE), decide di attaccare guadagnando secondi sul gruppo. I fuggitivi verranno ripresi a 500 metri dal traguardo. Da qui in poi inizia la volata finale che vedrà trionfare John Murphy del team Holowesko mentre Marco Canola raggiunge la quarta posizione.

IL PROTAGONISTA
“Sono un pò rammaricato per il quarto posto di oggi” queste le parole di Marco Canola al termine della gara. “All’uscita dell’ultima curva ero in buona posizione, ma poi hanno accelerato per recuperare sui 3 fuggitivi. A 500 metri dal traguardo, una volta ripresi i corridori in fuga, c’è stato un rallentamento che ha portato il team Cannondale e il team Holowesko ad iniziare la volata. Sono riuscito a restare a ruota ma ero un pò indietro rispetto ai primi davanti. Stavo recuperando bene a grande velocità, ma alla fine ho chiuso quarto. Voglio fare i complimenti al mio compagno di squadra Ivan Santaromita per l’azione fatta nel finale; è stato un peccato che sia stata ripreso quando mancavano solo 500 metri al traguardo.”
