Fabio Jakobsen ha vinto la terza tappa del Tour of Guangxi 2018, il circuito cittadino di Nanning con quattro giri per un totale di 125,4 km. Il 22enne olandese ha preceduto in una volata molto tirata Pascal Ackermann (Bora Hansgrohe), Max Walscheid (Team Sunweb) e Dylan Groenewegen (Lotto NL Jumbo), ed è balzato al comando della classifica generale prima guidata proprio proprio dal terzo classificato oggi.

Con il successo odierno ha portato i successi stagionali della Quick Step Floors a 72, rompendo il record detenuto dalla Mapei di 71 (conquistato nell’anno 2000). Un filotto di vittorie spalmate in tutta la stagione e suddivise in modo eterogeneo per varietà di corse e di protagonisti.

Anche oggi la pioggia ha copiosamente bagnato la corsa da metà della competizione. Gli attaccanti di giornata sono stati il nostro Manuele Boaro (Bahrain Merida), Nathan van Hooydonck (BMC), Jasha Sütterlin (Movistar) e Owain Doull (Sky), scattati dai primi chilometri. Il vantaggio è salito fino a 1’45’’ al km 35.

Lo sprint al km 93.6 ha visto i passaggi di: 1. Doull, 2. Boaro, 3. Van Hooydonck. A 20 km dalla conclusione, il vantaggio si era ridotto a 40 secondi con uno stillicidio lento e regolare che è arrivato a 20 secondi ai -10 km fino al ricongiungimento ai -7 km. Doull è stato dichiarato il più attivo di oggi. La volata è stata impostata dalla Lotto NL Jumbo ma la maglia rossa Groenewegen non è riuscito a imporsi facendosi rimontare nettamente dai due rivali.

Si riparte domani con il tappone, se così si può definire, con arrivo in salita in cima al sito scenografico di Nongla dopo oltre 200 km di corsa. Deciderà la classifica come l’anno scorso quando vinse Tim Wellens, anche se non c’è da sottovalutare la quinta e ostica tappa con parecchia salita.
