OMAN. È TORNATO CANCELLARA!

PROFESSIONISTI | 18/02/2015 | 12:26
Seconda frazione decisamente animata sulle strade del Giro dell'Oman, con un finale che ha setacciato il gruppo e che ha chiamato i big alla ribalta sul traguardo di Al Bustan, al termine di una corsa di 195 km. E vittoria certo non pronosticata di Fabian Cancellara che ha regolato un gruppetto tagliando il traguardo a braccia alzate. Alle sue spalle lo spagnolo Alejandro Valverde e lo statunitense Greg Van Avermaet, con Pippo Pozzato al quarto posto. Cancellara naturalmente è anche il nuovo leader della corsa.
Sull'ultima asperità, a poco più di due chilometri dal traguardo, sono scollinati Hermans, Fuglsang, Meintjes e Arredondo, poi le carte si sono rimescolate e si è arrivati ad una volata a ranghi ristretti che ha visto il successo dello svizzero, tornato alla vittoria dopo un lungo periodo di astinenza.

La tappa è stata caratterizzata dalla lunga fuga promossa da Gatis Smukulis, Preben van Hecke e Jef van Meiraeghe. Con loro per tutta la prima parte della gara c'è stato anche Enrico Barbin della Bardiani Csf, poi costretto a rialzarsi a causa di una foratura. L'ultimo ad arredersi è stato Smukulis, raggiunto quando mancavano 12 km al traguardo.
In casa Bardiani da segnalare il ritiro di Edoardo Zardini, alle prese con problemi di carattere fisico.
