MADS PEDERSEN DOMINA A VEJLE

La terza tappa del Giro di Danimarca va al danese Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), che precede di 3” il connazionale Michael Valgren (Astana) e di 6” l’olandese Lennard Hofstede (Team Sunweb). La nuova classifica generale rispecchia l’ordine d’arrivo ed è quindi comandata da Mads Pedersen.

Giro di Danimarca nel segno dei Pedersen: dopo la vittoria di Casper Pedersen (Team Virtu Cycling) nella prima tappa, ecco che nella terza frazione – la seconda effettivamente disputata in seguito all’annullamento di quella di mercoledì, s’impone un altro Pedersen, Mads, ventunenne alfiere della Trek-Segafredo e campione nazionale danese su strada, grazie ad uno scatto sull’ultimo strappo.
Si trattava della frazione altimetricamente più impegnativa della rassegna, con partenza da Otterup ed arrivo a Vejle dopo 183 chilometri di gara, da disputarsi su un tracciato pieno di salite brevi, ma non meno impegnative, e con il traguardo posto al culmine dell’ultima di queste salitelle.
Subito dopo il via parte la classica fuga da lontano composta da sei atleti – Mathias Krigbaum (ColoQuick Cult), Andreas Stokbro (Riwal Platform Cycling Team), Mathias Bregnhøj (BHS – Almeborg Boprnholm), Benjamin Declercq (Sport Vlaanderen – Baloise), Mikkel Skjellerup (nazionale danese) e Danilo Napolitano (Wanty – Groupe Gobert) – che con la loro azione riescono a guadagnare al massimo sei minuti sul gruppo, la cui rincorsa ai battistrada finisce ai cinquanta dal traguardo.
Negli ultimi venti chilometri non mancano i tentativi in contropiedi di coloro che cercano di anticipare lo strappo finale, ma il gruppo non vuole sentire ragioni e riprende tutti quanti.
La corsa si decide così all’ultimo chilometro, quando lo scatto di Mads Pedersen diventa impossibile da seguire, permettendogli di staccare gli avversari e giungere solitario sulla linea d’arrivo. Precede di 3” Michael Valgren (Astana), di 6” Lennard Hofstede (Sunweb) e Rasmus Guldhammer (Team Virtu Cycling), di 12” Pieter Weening (Roompot – Nederlandse Loterij), di 13” Fabien Grellier (Direct Énergie), di 14” Marco Minaard (Wanty – Groupe Gobert), di 18” Alexander Kamp (Team Virtu Cycling), di 21” Jonas Gregaard (Riwal Platform Cycling Team) e Dries Van Gestel (Sport Vlaanderen – Baloise)
Tocca ora ad una cronometro individuale di 18 chilometri disegnata attorno a Randers, nella quale i il capo classifica Pedersen potrà aumentare il vantaggio sugli inseguitori
