ARCTIC RACE: DEGENKOLB, CHI SI RIVEDE! E MOSCON VINCE LA CORSA

John Degenkolb (Team Giant Alpecin) vince la quarta ed ultima tappa dell’Arctic Race of Norway battendo in volata Alexander Kristoff (Team Katusha) e Arnaud Démare (Team FDJ). Gianni Moscon vince la corsa scandinava grazie all’ottima azione nel finale della terza tappa.

L’edizione 2016 dell’Arctic Race of Norway si conclude con due belle notizie per il ciclismo, in particolare per quello italiano e per quello tedesco. Innanzitutto, Gianni Moscon (Team SKY) vince la sua prima corsa da professionista confermando le sue doti di una precoce carriera, una speranza concreta per il movimento italiano che si affaccia nel panorama internazionale e che potrà ulteriormente crescere stagione dopo stagione. Nello stesso tempo, dopo l’incidente in allenamento patito ad inizio stagione in Spagna, John Degenkolb (Team Giant Alpecin) ottiene la prima vittoria del 2016 nella quarta ed ultima tappa, battendo in volata il padrone di casa Alexander Kristoff (Team Katusha). Una tappa, l’ultima, che ha visto le squadre dei velocisti controllare la fuga formata da cinque ciclisti: Anders Skaarseth (Team Joker), Oivind Lukkedal (Team Coop-Oster Hus), Floris De Tier (Topsport Vlaanderen), Karol Domagalski (One Pro Cycling) e Marcus Burghardt (Team BMC). La fuga è stata ripresa a circa 10 km dall’arrivo grazie alla decisa azione di Katusha e Giant Alpecin, alle quali si è unito il Team SKY, anche per proteggere il leader Moscon facendolo permanere nelle prime posizioni. La volata è stata molto combattuta, con Kristoff che ha cercato di anticipare gli avversari, ma proprio sul traguardo, grazie ad un ottimo recupero, Degenkolb è riuscito a prevalere sul norvegese per una questione di centimetri. In terza posizione si è classificato Arnaud Démare (Team FDJ), mentre si segnalano due italiani nella top ten, Andrea Guardini (Team Astana) in sesta posizione e Danilo Napolitano (Wanty – Goupe Gobert) in ottava posizione. La classifica generale finale rispecchia le posizioni di ieri con Gianni Moscon primo su Stef Clement (IAM Cycling) e Oscar Gatto (Team Tinkoff). John Degenkolb vince la classifica a punti, Tom Van Asbroeck (Team Lotto NL Jumbo) quella della montagna mentre Gianni Moscon vince anche quella dei giovani. Adesso l’interesse degli appassionati si sposta in Spagna, dove da sabato 20 inizierà la Vuelta. Alberto Contador, dopo l’abbandono al Tour de France, proverà a vincere e subentrare a Fabio Aru, vittorioso nel 2015.
