Circuit Franco belge, colpo doppio per Gert Steegmans

| 07/10/2007 | 00:00
Davvero una grande stagione, quella che si sta per concludere, per il belga Gert Steegmans, portacolori della Quick Step Innergetic: oggi doppia soddisfazione per lui che ha vinto la quarta tappa del Circuirt Franco Belge e soprattutto la classifica finale della corsa autinnale. La frazione odierna è stata caratterizzata da una fuga a cinque promossa da Jerome Vincent (BOU), Duclos Lassalle Hervé (COF), Krauss Sven (GER), Bichot Freddy (AGR) e Luca Celli Luca (LPR). A 7 km dall'arrivo, sulla spinta della Quick Step, c'è stato il ricongiungimento: ad evitare la volata ci hanno provato De Jongh e Cancellara, ma non hanno avuto fortuna. Dopo avere conquistato la seconda frazione dell'ultima corsa a tappe europea della stagione, il 27.enne corridore del team QUICK STEP-Innergetic ha messo la propria "Questa mattina - spiega Steegmans - avevamo pensato di lasciare andare una fuga e controllare poi la corsa per arrivare allo sprint per potermi giocare la vittoria con Cavendish con il quale ero a pari tempo - spiega un entusiasta Steegmans -. Sto facendo un grande finale di stagione grazie anche ad una squadra che si è messa completamente a mia disposizione. Il grande obiettivo, inutile nasconderlo, rimane la Paris Tours di domenica prossima. La vittoria sarebbe il sigillo a una stagione ottima."
