LTDL 2018. A OVECHKIN LA TAPPA REGINA, 9° RAGGIO

PROFESSIONISTI | 22/03/2018 | 09:02
Parla russo la tappa più attesa del Tour de Langkawi: a Cameron Highlands vince infatti Artem Ovechkin, portacolori della malese Terengganu Cycling Team. Alle sue spalle si sono piazzati l'australiano Benjamin Dyball /St. George Continental) e l'eritreo Amauel Gebreigzabhier della Dimension Data.

Si era partiti da Bentong 169,4 km prima e - come al solito - è stata una frazione caratterizzata a un attacco da lontano. Ma in cima si sono visti i più forti, con una grande battaglia.

Drammaticità della sorte, il ritirato di questa mattina (sono partiti in 120) è stato il vincitore dell'anno scorso a Cameron Highlands, nonché uno dei favoriti. Stiamo parlando dell'eritreo Mekseb Debesay (Dimension Data) che è stato vittima di una caduta nel finale ieri e che stamattina è stato elitrasportato in un ospedale migliore per maggiori accertamenti. Il primo a provarci è stato proprio il suo compagno di squadra Johan van Zyl, ma dopo 20 km il gruppo era ancora compatto. Un altro tentativo portava la firma di Wang Bo della Hengxiang e Turakit della Thailand CT.

Il primo sprint di giornata, a Raub presso il km 27 vedeva questi passaggi: 1. Guardini, 2. Fonzi, 3. Chirico, 4. Tleubayev. Finalmente, dopo 35 km ecco la fuga con il nostro Bresciani (Bardiani), Osorio (Manzana-Postobon), Cooper (Bennelong), l'idolo locale Manan (Forca) e Kwon (KSPO), ma è durato poco visto che era ripreso prima dello sprint al km 41 (1 Minali, 2. Guardini, 3. Parra, 4. Chirico). Un nuovo drappello annoverava Wackermann (Bardiani), ancora Osorio (Manzana-Postobon), Rosa (Wilier), Zhang (Hengxiang), Zawawi (Sapura) e Jumari (Malaysia), mentre la prima ora di corsa era coperta in 45km/h.

Il gruppo fuggitivi ha incrementato velocemente il vantaggio, che al km 50 era già di 2.50. Il successivo sprint a Sg Koyan, km 77.8, vedeva questi passaggi: 1. Jumari (Malaysia boleh!), 2. Zawawi, 3. Zhang, 4. Osorio. Ai -35km il vantaggio scendeva a 2 minuti e poco dopo il cinese Zhang perdeva contatto quando la strada iniziava a diventare più difficile. Anche dietro il ritmo diventava più intenso, con l'Astana a trainare e a far scendere il vantaggio a grande velocità.

Ai -25 km rimanevano solo Osorio e Wackermman che però venivano ripresi e superati dal russo Ovechkin della Terengganu che si involava tutto solo verso il traguardo e la maglia gialla, ipotecando il successo finale. Migliore italiano é Luca Raggio, nono sul traguardo e decimo in classifica.
