PETER SAGAN FA SEDICI AL TOUR OF CALIFORNIA

Vittoria numero sedici per il campione del mondo Peter Sagan al Tour of California. Con la volata della terza tappa a Morro Bay lo slovacco aggiunge un’altra perla alla sua personale “storia d’amore” con la corsa a tappe statunitense. Terza piazza per Simone Consonni.

Come previsto la terza tappa dell’AMGEN Tour of California si è conclusa con una volata di gruppo. A primeggiare è stato il campione del mondo Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) che con questa vittoria raggiunge quota sedici nel suo personale palmarès di affermazioni alla corsa americana. La seconda piazza è andata al figlio d’arte Erik Zabel (Katusha – Alpecin). Per quanto riguarda i rappresentanti italiani presenti oltre oceano giunge lo squillo di Simone Consonni (UAE Team Emirates) che ha colto la terza piazza. Le posizioni successive sono andate ad Alexander Kristoff (Team Katusha-Alpecin), Jean-Pierre Drucker (BMC Racing Team), Reinardt Janse van Rensburg (Dimension Data), Taylor Phinney (Cannondale-Drapac), che aveva provato ad anticipare tutti ai meno 400, Ramon Sinkeldam (Sunweb), Travis McCabe (UnitedHealthcare) e Mike Teunissen (Sunweb).
Anche la terza tappa prima della conclusione è stata caratterizzata da una fuga. I cinque elementi che la componevano erano Sean Bennett (Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis), Danny Pate (Rally Cycling), Ben Wolfe (Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis), David Lozano (Team Novo Nordisk) e l’italiano Federico Zurlo (UAE Team Emirates). Il gruppo però non ha dato loro scampo. L’ultimo a cedere è stato il portacolori della statunitense Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis Ben Wolfe.
In classifica continua a guidare Rafal Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) con 2” su George Bennett (Lotto NL-Jumbo) e 14″ su Ian Boswell (Sky).
Oggi anche la Santa Barbara-Santa Clarita di 159.5 km dovrebbe richiamare alla ribalta i velocisti. Diretta su Eurosport dalle ore 23:00.
