ALLO SPRINT SI PARLA ANCORA ITALIANO: VITTORIA A PACIONI

La sesta tappa del Tour de Langkawi va a Luca Pacioni (Wilier) che allo sprint precede Riccardo Minali (Astana) e il malesiano Mohd Saleh (Terengganu Cycling Team). Nessun cambiamento in classifica generale, che anche domani sarà capeggiata dal vincitore di ieri Artëm Ovečkin (Terengganu Cycling Team).

In terra malese l’arrivo allo sprint è da anni diventato il terreno di caccia preferito dai nostri corridori. La tradizione è stata confermata da questa edizione del Tour de Langkawi nella quale, su quattro volate finora disputate, tutte sono state tutte vinte da corridori italiani. L’ultimo ad aggiudicarsi la vittoria è stato Luca Pacioni (Wilier Triestina – Selle Italia), che proprio in questa annata si è trasferito alla corte di Luca Scinto e che nel 2018 si è già imposto in corse disputate in Africa, alla Tropicale Amissa Bonga, e in Asia, al recente Tour di Taiwan.
La frazione odierna, che partiva da Tapah e giungeva in quel di Tanjung-Malim dopo 108 chilometri, presentava un tracciato interamente pianeggiante, quindi favorevole agli sprinter. E così anche stavolte le loro squadre, interessate ad arrivare col gruppo compatto sul traguardo, non hanno lasciato scampo alla fuga, che, come nelle giornate precedenti, si è dovuta accontentare dei premi in palio traguardo volante e all’unico, microscopico GPM previsto.
All’arrivo è Luca Pacioni ad alzare le braccia al cielo, davanti all’onnipresente Riccardo Minali (Astana) e al corridore di casa Mohd Saleh (Terengganu Cycling Team). Dietro di loro vanno a completare la top ten Andrea Guardini (Bardiani-CSF), il kazako Yevgeniy Gidich (Astana), Paolo Simion (Bardiani-CSF), Matteo Malucelli (Androni – Sidermec – Bottecchia), il polacco Szymon Sajnok (CCC Sprandi Polkowice), l’elvetico Dylan Page (Team Sapura Cycling) e l’eritreo Metkel Eyob (Terengganu Cycling Team). Il russo Artëm Ovečkin (Terengganu Cycling Team) conserva senza troppi patemi la maglia di leader conquistata ieri con 32″ sull’australiano Benjamin Dyball (St. George Continental Cycling Team) e sull’altro “canguro” Harry Sweeny (Mitchelton – BikeExchange). Il ligure Luca Raggio (Wilier Triestina – Selle Italia) si conferma migliore dei nostri (10° a 1′20″) in classica ed ora si disputerà la penultima e più lunga tappa della corsa malese, che condurrà in 222 Km da Nilai a Muar, traguardo nuovamente alla portata delle ruote veloci.
