Serov e la Tinkoff a segno in Gran Bretagna

| 14/09/2007 | 00:00
Il Regno Unito applaude l’impresa di Alexander Serov. Il russo della Tinkoff Credit Systems è il vincitore della quinta tappa del Giro di Gran Bretagna, che si è corsa oggi da Liverpool a Kendal sulla distanza di 170 chilometri. ”Oggi mi veniva tutto facile, la condizione era ottima - ha spiegato il vincitore subito dopo il traguardo -. Sono un instintivo e per tutto il giorno ho seguito quello che mi sentivo. E questa vittoria mi rende particolamente contento perché ero stufo di ottenere soltanto dei piazzamenti”. La tappa è stata catterizzata da una fuga di dieci corridori partita subito dopo la partenza, fra i quali c'era Serov. Poi, a 90 chilometri dall’arrivo il russo della Tinkoff Credit Systems, guidato dai direttori sportivi Konischev e Cozzi, è scattato in compagnia del britannico Cavendish: sulla penultima salita, a poco meno di 20 km. dalla conclusione l’accelerazione decisiva di Serov che finalizza con il trionfo in perfetta solitudine sul rettilineo di Kendal. In classifica generale guida sempre lo spagnolo Adriano Palomares (Fuerteventura) con un solo secondo di vantaggio sul connazionale David Blanco (Duja Tavira).
