GUANGXI, ANCORA OLANDA CON JAKOBSEN

La terza tappa del Tour of Guangxi vede come vincitore l’olandese Fabio Jakobsen (Quick-Step Floors) che in volata precede i tedeschi Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) e Max Walscheid (Sunweb).

Prima di lasciare la scena agli scalatori la gara offre spazio ancora alle ruote veloci con una frazione totalmente pianeggiante di 125 chilometri, con partenza ed arrivo a Nanning.
Di fatto anche oggi la fuga non è riuscita ad avere grosse probabilità di giungere in porto, in particolar modo per il forte impegno delle squadre dei velocisti nell’inseguimento. I battistrada sono, così, stati raggiunti negli ultimi dieci chilometri.
Nella sfida ad alta velocità ad avere la meglio è Fabio Jakobsen (Quick-Step Floors), promettente sprinter classe ’96 al sesto centro nella sua prima stagione da professionista. Dietro di lui si piazzano nell’ordine Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe), Max Walscheid (Sunweb), Dylan Groenewegen (Team LottoNL-Jumbo), Arnaud Démare (Groupama – FDJ), l’italiano Riccardo Minali (Astana Pro Team), Enzo Wouters (Lotto Soudal), Luka Mezgec (Mitchelton-Scott), Clément Venturini (AG2R La Mondiale) e Roger Kluge (Mitchelton-Scott).
In classifica generale la situazione cambia in favore di Jakobsen, nuovo leader della corsa a tappe cinese con 4″ su Ackermann e 6″ sull’ex capoclassifica professionista. Tutto cambierà nuovamente dopo la decisiva quarta frazione, la più impegnativa in virtù dell’arrivo in salita a Mashan Nongla Scenic Spot, che prevede un’ascesa finale di 3,2 km al 7,3% di pendenza media.
