OMAN. A Green Mountain festa per Valls e la Lampre

PROFESSIONISTI | 20/02/2015 | 13:26
Nome a sorpresa, quello di Rafa Valls: lo spagnolo della Lampre Merida ha messo il suo sigillo sulla tappa pià attesa del Giro dell'Oman, quella che si concudeva sul tragauardo di Green Mountain. Ad accendere le ostilità ai piedi della salita è stato Vincenzo Nibali: l'azione del siciliano ha letteralmente stacciato il gruppo, tanto che solo una ventina di conrridori sono rimasti nella sua scia. All'inseguimento di Nibali ha tirato forte la BMC di Van Garderen ed è stato proprio lo statunitense ad accelerare a tre chilometri dal traguardo con Majka, Valverde e Valls. Prima ha ceduto lo spagnolo della Movistar, poi il polacco della Tinkoff, mentre Rafa Valls ha avuto la meglio nel finale e ha conquistato una vittoria prestigiosa, la seconda della sua carriera dopo quella ottenuta cinque anni fa al Tour de San Luis.
Rafa Valls ha conquistato anche la maglia di leader della classifica generale.
