ARCTIC RACE OF NORWAY, SUBITO VAN DER POEL

Al rientro dopo un lungo stop Mathieu van der Poel vince la prima tappa dell’Arctic Race of Norway davanti a Danny Van Poppel e un ottimo Andrea Pasqualon

Era la prima corsa dopo la parentesi, iniziata in aprile dopo la vittoria all’Amstel Gold Race per dedicarsi alla mountain bike, e alla preparazione del mondiale su strada in Yorkshire di fine settembre, e Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon – Circus) ha subito fatto centro al primo tentativo.
Lo scenario è di quelli suggestivi, la prima tappa dell’Arctic Race of Norway (181 Km da Ã… a Leknes), come da pronostico risoltasi in volata anche se non a ranghi compatti. Il tentativo decisivo che risolve la corsa esce tardi, ma è composto da ben 33 corridori ai quali il gruppo non riesce più a mettere freno. Per il talento neerlandese abile, ad inseririsi del drappello di testa, è un gioco da ragazzi regolare allo sprint Danny van Poppel (Jumbo-Visma) e il nostro Andrea Pasqualon (Wanty – Gobert Cycling Team), conquistando così anche la maglia di leader della classifica generale. Oggi è in programma l’unica frazione totalmente pianeggiante della corsa norvegese, 164 Km da pedalare tra Henningsvær e Svolvær
