EXTRAGIRO. E Peter Sagan firmò il poker!

| 17/05/2012 | 07:59
Peter Sagan non vuole fermarsi. Dopo tre vittorie in tre tappe, il talento della Liquigas-Cannondale ha conquistato anche la quarta da Sonora a Clovis di 209 km. La volata vincente, vinta davanti ad Haussler e Matthews, è arrivata grazie allo splendido lavoro di apripista di Daniel Oss.
«Non pensavo veramente di riuscire a disputare la volata – afferma Sagan – perché l’ultima salita non era facile e non sapevo quante energie sarei riuscito a salvare. Poi mi ha affiancato Daniel e mi ha detto “proviamoci ancora”. Ho pensato che dovevo, perché se un compagno crede così tanto in te bisogna ripagarne la fiducia. Lui è stato bravissimo a lanciarmi: ha svolto un lavoro splendido senza il quale non credo che sarei riuscito a vincere. Sono contento per questo momento così speciale e penso poco al domani. Io e i compagni stiamo facendo qualcosa di grande, speriamo di poter essere protagonisti anche sulle montagne con Nibali e Duggan».
Quando siamo al giro di boa del Tour of California, Sagan rimane saldamente al comando della generale con 16” di vantaggio su Haussler e 40” sul gruppo degli uomini di classifica. Lo slovacco è anche leader della classifica a punti e di quella dei giovani.
