GUARDINI SEMPRE PIÙ RE DEGLI SPRINTER IN MALESIA

La settima tappa del Tour de Langkawi va allo scatenato Andrea Guardini (Astana), autore di uno sprint perfetto, che precede altri due velocisti italiani, Jakub Mareczko (Southeast) e Andrea Palini (Skydive Dubai), giunti nell’ordine. In classifica generale Reinardt Van Rensburg (Dimension Data) conserva la maglia di leader in attesa della ultima tappa, prevista per domani.

Non si ferma più Andrea Guardini, che si aggiudica in volata la settima tappa del Tour de Langkawi battendo un altro italiano, Jakub Mareczko, dopo una sfida combattutissima fino all’ultimo metro. Vittoria anche frutto, a livello motivazionale, della tappa di ieri, in cui l’Astana aveva perso la maglia di leader per una foratura subita da Miguel López. E quindi il successo odierno si può definirlo quasi come un risarcimento avuto dalla fortuna per essere mancata ieri.
Questa settima frazione, la più lunga del corsa malese con partenza da Seremban ed arrivo a Parit Sulong dopo 202 Km, presentava un percorso nervoso nella prima parte con GPM, uno di terza categoria e uno di quarta, per poi raggiungere il traguardo su un terreno pianeggiante, adatto agli uomini veloci.
La partenza è scoppiettante con diversi uomini che si lanciano in fuga, tra i quali vi è anche Miguel López, autore di un tentativo importante ma effimero, in quanto ripreso dal gruppo tirato dalla Dimension Data, squadra del leader Van Rensburg.
Dopo qualche attimo di quiete ecco che ripartono altri sei corridori – Tanner Putt (Unitedhealthcare), Karol Domagalski (One Pro Cycling), Laurens De Vreese (Astana), Juraj Sagan (Tinkoff), Gong Hyo Suk (KSPO) e Agung Sahbana (Pegasus) – con il plotone che stavolta non reagisce, concedendo un vantaggio massimo di cinque minuti e venti secondi.
Nel finale, quando il distacco dal gruppo è inferiore ai due minuti, allungano dalla testa della corsa De Vreese, Putt e Gong, con il primo che riesce a resistere da solo al comando fino a cinque chilometri dal traguardo.
Da lì in poi è una lotta tra i velocisti per conquistarsi le posizioni migliori, che finisce al momento dello sprint, vinto di poco da Guardini su Mareczko. Completa il podio tutto azzurro Andrea Palini. Più indietro invece Saleh, Van Rensburg, Simion, Murphy, Fukuda, Benfatto e Kolar.
Domani tappa finale con arrivo nella città di Malacca, favorevole ai velocisti e nella quale Van Rensburg e la sua squadra cercheranno di controllare la corsa.
