TAIHU LAKE. Metlushenko vince la prima

PROFESSIONISTI | 02/11/2013 | 09:45
Già vincitore della quarta tappa lo scorso anno, l’esperto ucraino Yuriy Metlushenko, che con i suoi 37 anni è il corridore più vecchio in gara, ha ritrovato la strada della vittoria al Tour Taihu Lake, vincendo a Wuxi, nella provincia di Jiangsu, la tappa ianugurale di 80,6 km alla media 49,77km/h !
«Finalemente! - ha esclamato il capitano della Torku Seker Spor dopo aver battuto il nuovo fenomeno dello sprint australiani Jesse Kerrison, 19 anni -. Ero uscito frustrato dal Tour de Hainan a forza di finire battuto dai ragazzi della Belkin. Oggi ho vinto grazie all’enorme lavoro della squadra, in particolare di Sergey Grechin, che mi ha pilotato all’ultimo chilometro. La corsa è stata incredibile, ci sono stati attacchi e contrattacchi, fin quando ai dieci chilometri la mia squadra ha preso in mano la situazione. Ho detto ad Ahmet Örken (4°) di fare il suo sprint perché punta alla maglia di miglior giovane e io sono qui per aiutarlo a crescere. `andato tutto bene e a questo punto proveremo a difendere anche la mia maglia di leader della classifica generale. In fin dei conti, macano solo otto tappe...»

da Wuxi, Jean-François Quénet
