LA CRONOMETRO CALIFORNIANA PREMIA DIBBEN E BENNETT

Il Big Bear Lake entra di diritto nella storia dell’Amgen Tour of California. È infatti sulle sue rive che la corsa a tappe statunitense ha regalato a Jonathan Dibben la sua prima vittoria da professionista e ha fatto mettere a George Bennett una seria ipoteca sulla vittoria finale.

Le tappe a cronometro sono sempre delle “pietre miliari” nello svolgimento di una corsa a tappe, piccola o grande che sia. Anche all’Amgen Tour of California non ci siamo scostati da questo andazzo. Sui 24 km di gara il miglior tempo lo ha fatto segnare il giovane portacolori del Team Sky Jonathan Dibben che ha fermato il cronometro sui 28’27”, prestazione che gli ha permesso di cogliere il suo primo alloro della sua carriera.
Alle sue spalle hanno marcato la loro presenza tutti gli uomini di classifica, con l’esclusione di Rafal Majka (Bora – Hansgrohe). Il polacco, partito con la maglia di leader sulle spalle, ha infatti accusato un ritardo dal vincitore di quasi un minuto. L’ordine d’arrivo segnala dietro al corridore della Sky Brent Bookwalter (BMC Racing Team) a 7″, Andrew Talansky (Cannondale-Drapac) a 16″, George Bennett (LottoNL-Jumbo) a 18″ e a 21″ Filippo Ganna, giovane portacolori della UAE Emirates che ha avuto l’onore di mantenere per molto tempo il miglior tempo.
Dopo questa prova George Bennett è il nuovo leader della classifica. La seconda piazza è per Majka che lo segue a 35″, uno in meno di Talansky che attualmente occupa il gradino più basso del podio.
Stasera (ora italiana) è in programma l’ultima tappa del California da Mountain High a Pasadena, lungo un tracciato mosso che si presta ad imboscata e non sarà dunque la solita conclusione pro velocisti. Diretta dalle 21:00 su Eurosport.
