PASQUALON SENZA RIVALI A SCHIFFLANGE

La seconda tappa del Giro del Lussemburgo va ad Andrea Pasqualon (Wanty Groupe Gobert) che precede il tedesco Alexander Krieger (Leopard) e il lussemburghese Alex Kirsch (WB Aqua Protect). È proprio il tedesco Krieger a sopravanzare il leader della corsa Damien Gaudin (Direct Énergie) in classifica generale.

Una vittoria che conferma quanto Andrea Pasqualon sia in ottima condizione: dopo lo “squillo” di settimana scorsa al Grand Prix de Plumelec, il veneto della Wanty si è, infatti, ripetuto oggi nella seconda frazione della corsa lussemburghese, una frazione dal chilometraggio forzatamente limitato per questioni metereologiche, con partenza da Junglinster e arrivo a Schifflange dopo 89 chilometri di gara, con il traguardo posto in cima ad uno strappetto di un chilometro.
Lo strappo finale è stato preso a tutta dal gruppo, arrivato compatto all’inizio della breve salita. La vittoria di Pasqualon è nata proprio in questa fase: prima ha fatto sfogare coloro che avevano provato l’allungo lungo il tratto più pendente dell’erta e poi ha aspettato il momento giusto per partire, facendolo nei 200 metri finali, dove ha saltato Alexander Krieger (Leopard), giunto poi terzo al traguardo, e limitato il tentativo di rimonta di Alexander Krieger (Leopard). Completano la top ten Jan Tratnik (CCC Sprandi Polkowice), Pit Leyder (Leopard Pro Cycling) e Piet Allegaert (Sport Vlaanderen – Baloise) – giunti con lo stesso tempo del vincitore – mentre con un ritardo di 3” si sono piazzati anche Mauro Finetto (Delko Marseille Provence KTM), Thomas Sprengers ( Sport Vlaanderen – Baloise) e Huub Duijn (Vérandas Willems-Crelan); 10° a 5″ si è infine piazzato Eduard Prades (Euskadi – Murias)
Come già anticipato prima, si è verificato un cambio della guardia in classifica generale con Krieger nuovo leader della corsa con un vantaggio di 3” su Kirsch e 5” su Pasqualon. La leadership del corridore tedesco sarà messa alla prova inevitabilmente nella tappa di sabato, la più impegnativa del lotto, con partenza da Eschweiler, arrivo a Differdange e il Col d’Europe da ripetere tre volte negli ultimi 30 chilometri.
