Quello che sarebbe stato un breve percorso si è trasformato in un brevissimo percorso: ad ogni modo, il vincitore non è cambiato...

La seconda tappa della Cro Race, partita da Zaravecchia, si sarebbe dovuta concludere con un presumibile sprint a Novalja dopo 114 chilometri e mezzo: i forti venti che spiravano sul ponte che avrebbe portato la corsa dalla terraferma all'isola di Pag, tuttavia, hanno indotto l'organizzazione a riposizionare la fine della gara al km 51 sul morbido GPM di Jovici. I tre fuggitivi Alex Molenaar (Caja Rural), Artur Sowinski (Run & Race Wibatech) e Andrej Tomsic (Ljubljana Gusto) sono stati ripresi ai piedi della pendenza conclusiva. Diversi uomini hanno provato ad anticipare l'ultimo chilometro, le formazioni dei velocisti hanno prontamente chiuso la porta e alla fine è emerso il solito Paul Magnier. Senza stavolta i sincronismi perfetti del trenino Soudal Quick-Step, il corridore francese è emerso con prepotenza e ha preceduto Edoardo Zambanini (Bahrain Victorious), Ben Turner (Ineos) e in generale un gruppone dove troviamo in top-10 anche Giovanni Lonardi della Polti VisitMalta. Va detto, comunque, che non c'era un arco ma solo la linea bianca per terra: non era semplice distinguere dove fosse esattamente il traguardo. Domani altra volata, si spera più "canonica" rispetto a oggi, in vista.
