QATAR. Tris di Kristoff, battuto Sagan

PROFESSIONISTI | 12/02/2015 | 14:07
Alexander Kristoff re del vento in Qatar. Terza vittoria di tappa per il norvegese della Katusha, ancora una volta sconfitto Peter Sagan per una questione di centimetri. Premiato una volta di piuù il grand elavoro della Katusha e di Luca Paolini in particolare: in una tappa ancora una volta condizionata dal vento, gli atleti del team russo hanno protetto alla perfezione il loro capitano e hanno addirittura cercato di far saltare il banco, provando l'attacco ad una manciata di chilometri dal traguardo, azione annullata poco prima del triangolo rosso.
Kristoff ha lanciato una volata lunga, Sagan ha cercato la rimonta ma nemmeno il colpo di reni gli ha permesso di portare a casa il primo successo della stagione. Due corridori italiani presenti nel gruppo che si è giocato la vittoria in questa quinta tappa: undicesimo posto per Sacha Modolo mentre Nicola Ruffoni ha chiuso al diciottesimo posto.
In classifica generale, resta al comando Niki Terpstra, che comunque non può dormire sonni tranquilli perché gli abbuoni in palio nell'ultima tappa tengono ancora aperti i giochi.
