McCABE ESULTA PRECEDENDO PELUCCHI E GUARDINI

La terza tappa del Tour de Langkawi va allo statunitense Travis McCabe (Floyd’s Pro Cycling), che precede in volata gli italiani Matteo Pelucchi (Androni-Sidermec) e Andrea Guardini (Bardiani-CSF).

Una volata strana, una mossa tattica intelligente da parte della Floyd’s, che nel finale spezza il gruppo avvantaggiando il proprio velocista, Travis McCabe, che riesce così a vincere la tappa con due secondi di vantaggio sugli altri sprinter. Questa terza frazione della corsa malese, da Muar a Putrajaya per un totale di 192 chilometri, non poteva finire con uno scenario diverso dalla volata. Non ci si sorprende, infatti, se la fuga – promossa oggi da tre atleti – sia stata prontamente annullata dal gruppo, visto che le squadre dei velocisti non avrebbero mai perso questa occasione. Tutto si svolto in maniera regolare fino all’ultimo chilometro, quando la squadra di McCabe effettua quel colpo di mano che ha permesso al loro uomo di aggiudicarsi la tappa, anticipando Matteo Pelucchi (Androni-Sidermec) e Andrea Guardini (Bardiani-CSF). A completare la top ten ci sono – Mohd Hariff Saleh (Terengganu Cycling Team), Kazushige Kuboki (nazionale giapponese), Zhiwen Chen (Giant), Maris Bogdanovics (Interpro Cycling Academy), Andriy Kulyk ( Shenzhen Xidesheng), Blake Quick (St George Continental Cycling Team) e Michael Freiberg (Pro Racing Sunshine Coast). Grazie alla vittoria odierna McCabe sale al primo posto della classifica generale con 4″ di vantaggio sull’ex leader Marcus Culey (Sapura Cycling), vincitore della frazione d’apertura, mentre il miglior italiano è ancora Paolo Simion (Bardiani – CSF), 7° a 18″.
