SUBITO ITALIA IN MALESIA: GUARDINI A BRACCIA ALZATE
La tappa di apertura del Tour de Langkawi, in Malesia, va ad Andrea Guardini (Bardiani-CSF) che precede allo sprint il sudcoreano Joon Seo (KSPO Bianchi) e all’eritreo Mekseb Debesay (Dimension Data).
L’ultima vittoria del velocista veronese risaliva proprio al Tour de Langkawi di due anni fa. Oggi il ritorno di Andrea Guardini al successo dopo un lungo digiuno è arrivato proprio nella medesima corsa a tappe. Si annuncia così un’annata speciale questa per Andrea, che è passato in una nuova squadra, la Bardiani-CSF, con la prospettiva di essere il velocista di punta della formazione dei Reverberi.
Questa tappa di apertura del Giro di Malesia presentava un percorso interamente pianeggiante, con partenza da Kangar ed arrivo a Kulim dopo un totale di 148 chilometri. Le squadre dei velocisti hanno fatto buona guardia nei chilometri precedenti lo sprint finale per evitare sorprese e Andrea Guardini ha raggiunto la 23esima vittoria di tappa nella corsa asiatica, precedendo nell’ordine il sudcoreano Joon Yong Seo (KSPO Bianchi), l’etrireto Mekseb Debesay (Dimension Data), gli italiani Manuel Belletti (Androni – Sidermec – Bottecchia), Riccardo Minali (Astana) e Luca Pacioni (Wilier Triestina – Selle Italia), gli australiani Kaden Groves (St. George Continental) e Scott Sunderland (Bennelong SwissWellness), il polacchio Alan Banaszek (CCC Sprandi Polkowice) e, a chiudere la top ten, l’indonesiano Abdul Gani (KFC Cycling Team). Oggi lo sprinter della Bardiani potrebbe fare il bis al termine della seconda frazione di 208 Km da Gerik a Kota Bharu, sempre che superi indenne i primi 70 Km di gara che prevedono due salite, tra le quali una di 1a categoria che porterà la corsa fino a 1046 metri di quota.
