WOMEN'S TOUR. Prima vittoria da elite per Rossella Ratto

DONNE | 08/05/2014 | 15:52
Rossella Ratto domina la seconda tappa del Friends Live Women’s Tour in
Gran Bretagna. Partita da lontano, a 60 chilometri dall’arrivo, la bergamasca
del team Estado de Mèxico Faren Kuota è stata autrice di un finale irrestibile
in compagnia di Susanna Zorzi. Nella volata a due Ratto ha vita facile e riesce
a precedere nettamente la campionessa europea. L’orobica dimostra così
di avere una grandissima condizione ed ora sembra davvero dura portagli
via il primato in classifica: oltre alla generale Rossella guida anche la speciale
graduatoria riservata alle giovani.
E’ la prima vittoria tra le elite per la giovane promessa del ciclismo femminile
italiano (bronzo al mondiale di Firenze 2013), che conferma la sua abilità
nelle corse di spessore. Ti sei emozionata? “In corsa ho cercato di rimanere
fredda e concentrata. Quando ero con la Zorzi, ho pensato che finalmente era
arrivata l’occasione giusta per vincere allo sprint”. Hai temuto il rientro della
Zorzi? “Pensavo più al nostro vantaggio sul gruppo e a ciò che accadeva
dietro con Vos e tutte le altre a pochi secondi”. Che corsa è stata? “Bagnata
e impegnativa, che non ha tradito le attese. A 60 km dalla conclusione ho
cominciato a menare le danze da sola, poi nel finale è arrivata la Zorzi e
insieme siamo andate fino al traguardo”.
