LANGKAWI. Zabriskie vince la cronometro d'apertura

| 24/02/2012 | 06:21
Come da previsione David Zabriskie ha vinto la cronometro che ha dato il via al Tour de Langkawi 2012. Con una velocità media di 49.57 km/h il passista americano ha coperto i 20, 3 km in programma in 24'34.18" imponendosi nella prima frazione e andando automaticamente a vestire la maglia di leader della generale.
«Sono molto contento di vestire la maglia gialla, ne ho già vestite un paio in un'altra corsetta (scherza riferendosi al Tour de France, ndr). Oggi stavo bene, ero eccitato all'idea di iniziare il mio 2012 con una cronometro. Il percorso mi si addiceva e le strade erano belle, non avevo riferimenti cronometrici in gara, nell'indecisione sono andato a tutta. É sempre bello vincere, sono contento».
Al secondo e terzo posto si sono classificati gli australiani della Drapac Cycling Adam Phelan (01'00.30") e Darren Lapthorne (01'10.67"). Al quarto e quinto posto due uomini che potranno dare filo da torcere a Zabriskie per la classifica generale: Thomas Danielson (Garmin Baracuda) e Josè Rujano (Androni Venezuela), staccati rispettivamente di 01'17" e 01'26".
Domani andrà in scena la prima tappa in linea, da Putrajaya a Melaka per un totale di 151 km. Prima occasione per gli uomini veloci.
