OMAN. VAN AVERMAET, COLPO DA CLASSICHE

PROFESSIONISTI | 15/02/2018 | 11:39
Ieri ci è andato vicino, oggi non ha perdonato: il campione olimpico Greg Van Avermaet ha vinto la terza tappa del Giro dell'Oman e ha conquistato la maglia di leader della classifica generale.

Il copione di giornata è stato quello che ormai abbiamo imparato a conoscere: fuga a quattro da lontano - protagonisti Loic Chetout (Cofidis), Xandro Meurisse (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Wouter Wippert (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) e Nicholas Schultz (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) - raggiunti poi nel finale quando in particolare la Astana e la BMC hanno fatto la corsa, selezionando il gruppo e preparando la battaglia finale finale.

Tra i protagonisti il portoghese Rui Costa, secondo, e il kazako Lutsenko, che ha chiuso al terzo posto della tappa. Per i colori italiani 13° Visconti a 17" in un gruppetto che comprendeva anche Nibali, Nizzolo e il giovane Nicola Conci.

In classifica generale guida Van Avermaet con Nibali che scicola fuori dalla top ten ed ora è undicesimo a 33 secondi dal leader.
