Varese 2008: Alessandro Ballan è il nuovo campione del mondo

| 28/09/2008 | 16:56
Quarant'anni, quarant'anni ha dovuto aspettare l'Italia per vedere un suo atleta diventare campione del mondo sulle strade di casa: a firmare l'impresa è stato Alessandro Ballan, che ha coronato una corsa durissima e ben orchestrata dagli azzurri con un assolo finale a tre chilometri dal traguardo. Come da previsione, gli azzurri hanno fatto la corsa e il finale è stato entusiasmante con l'attacco di un gruppo di 14 uomini tra i quali Cunego, Rebellin e Ballan. Il trionfo azzurro è stato completato dal secondo posto di Damiano Cunego (che sul traguardo ha avuto un gesto di stizza per la grande occasione sfuggitagli di un niente) e dal quarto di Davide Rebellin, con il solo danese Matti Breschel capace di inserirsi nel filotto azzurro.
