TOUR OF BRITAIN: LARS BOOM, CRONOTAPPA E MAGLIA

Lars Boom si impone nella tappa a cronometro della corsa britannica e si piazza in testa alla classifica generale. Per il Team Lotto NL-Jumbo un vero e proprio successo di squadra che ha visto, oltre alla vittoria di Boom, il secondo posto di Victor Campenaerts e il quinto di Jos van Emden.

La cronometro del Tour of Britain, poco più di 16 Km da percorrere sulle pianeggianti strade di Clacton-on-Sea, nel distretto di Tendring (”titolare” della tappa) era segnata come la giornata decisiva della corsa a tappe d’oltremanica. Lo svolgimento della gara ha mantenuto le promesse e il successo di tappa, con relativo insediamento in testa della classifica, è andato all’olandese Lars Boom della Lotto NL-Jumbo. Oltre al primo posto la squadra gialla equipaggiata dalla Bianchi ha piazzato anche Victor Campenaerts, secondo a 6″, e Jos van Emden, quinto a 11″
Terzo ha terminato la prova Vasil Kiryienka (Team Sky) con un ritardo di 7″ mentre è quarto a lo svizzero Stefan Küng (BMC Racing Team), giunto a 8″. Completano la top ten l’atteso Tony Martin (Team Katusha-Alpecin), Michal Kwiatkowski, Geraint Thomas (Team Sky), Alex Dowsett (Movistar Team) e Luke Durbdrige (Orica-Scott).
In classifica Boom precede di 8″ Campenaerts, di 9″ Kiryienka, di 10″ Küng, di 13″ Van Emden, di 14″ Martin, di 19″ Kwiatkowski, Edvald Boasson Hagen e Thomas e di 23″ Dowsett. Il primo italiano è colui che alla partenza di questa frazione indossava la maglia di leader della corsa britannica, l’oro di Rio Elia Viviani (Team Sky), che ha accusato un passivo di 1′23″ nella crono ed ora ha 1′05″ di ritardo dal nuovo capoclassifica. Oggi potrà consolarsi con un altra tappa adatta ai suoi mezzi perchè anche la sesta frazione, 187 Km da pedalare tra Newmarket e Aldeburgh, è di quelle adatte ai velocisti, come lo sono state tutte quelle affrontate prima della crono.
