Colpo doppio dell’australiano Jonathan Clarke (Floyd's Pro Cycling) che si impone nella seconda tappa del Tour of Taiwan -  la Taoyuan - Jiaobanshan Park di 118,9 km  - e conquista la maglia di leader della classifica generale.

Secondo posto per Giovanni Lonardi nella seconda tappa del Tour de Taiwan. Quarto podio stagionale per il giovane talento italiano lanciato tra i professionisti dal team NIPPO Vini Fantini Faizanè appena tre mesi fa. Seconda frazione del Tour de Taiwan lineare fino a 40km dall’arrivo quando sono iniziate le salite di giornata. Il velocista #OrangeBlue è stato bravo a non perdere le ruote dei migliori per potersi giocare le sue chance nello sprint finale.

Queste le sue parole dopo l’arrivo: “Un secondo posto che mi lascia qualche rimpianto, perché non conoscevo benissimo il finale che era un pò in discesa fino ai 200 metri e poi una curva secca dove mi sono fatto trovare troppo indietro. Ho iniziato la mia rimonta in sprint troppo tardi arrivando a cogliere la seconda piazza, ma sono certo che giocandomi meglio il finale avrei potuto vincere. Ci riproverò sicuramente nelle prossime tappe.”

Tre tappe al termine del Tour of Taiwan dove ci sarà spazio anche per gli scalatori del team con Hideto Nakane, supportato da Masakazu Ito e Ruben Acosta pronto a essere protagonista. Altre chance in volata in vista anche per Giovanni Lonardi.
