Il campione del mondo Peter Sagan fa la voce grossa e vince allo sprint la terza tappa dell'Amgen Tour of California: alle spalle dello slovacco della Bora Hansgrohe si sono piazzati nell'ordine Rick Zabel e Simone Consonni. In classifica generale resta al comando Rafal Majka, compagno di squadra di Sagan.

«Bella prova della squadra che ha lavorato bene durante la tappa, soprattutto nel finale – ha commentato Mario Scirea, diesse della UAE Team Emirates – L‘obiettivo di giornata per la prima fase di gara era di mettere uno dei nostri corridori in fuga e Zurlo è riuscito a restare in avanscoperta fino ai 15 km dal traguardo, poi Consonni si è espresso su buoni livelli in volata, sopratutto in considerazione del fatto che si è confrontato con molti dei migliori velocisti mondiali come Sagan: il terzo posto è di alto valore e ci riproveremo alla prossima occasione».


Simone Consonni da parte sua commenta: «Sono molto soddisfatto, devo ringraziare il team per il lavoro svolto oggi, da Zurlo che ci ha permesso di stare tranquilli in gruppo, a tutti gli altri miei compagni che mi hanno portato in ottima posizione fino ai 300 mt dall’arrivo. Sono riuscito a fare una bella progressione e a ottenere il terzo posto. Ringrazio anche i ds Scirea e Pedrazzini che mi hanno dato la fiducia».
