ARCTIC RACE OF NORWAY, EIKING BEFFA TUTTI

Sul muro finale del Monte Storheia è Odd Christian Eiking ad imporsi davanti a Warren Barguil, nuovo leader della generale. Terzo Alexey Lutsenko

Giornata importante quella vissuta oggi tra i fiordi norvegesi, in programma l’unico arrivo in salita della corsa più a nord del panorama internazionale.
La fuga da lontano evade dopo 30 km, dettata dal beniamino di casa Erlend Blikra (Team Coop)m seguito a ruota da Bryan Coquard (Vital Concept-B&B Hotels), accodatosi con il chiaro intento di portare a casa il traguardo volante posto ai -34 dal traguardo, Kristian Sbaragli (Israel Cycling Academy), Danny van Poppel (Team Jumbo-Visma) e Thimo Willems (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise).
Il loro vantaggio massimo sarà di 4’, ma il gruppo calcola alla perfezione il ritmo di rincorsa e riassorbe gli attaccanti giusto ai piedi dell’ascesa conclusiva, un vero e proprio muro di 3,5 km all’11% medio. Il gruppo lo prende di petto e poco dopo una caduta ne fraziona l’unità (da segnalare, tra i corridori finiti a terra anche Ilnur Zakarin, senza conseguenze di rilievo per il corridore del Team Katusha Alpecin). Ai -2.5 ci prova Warren Barguil (Team Arkéa Samsic), ma l’attacco decisivo lo porta Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) ai meno 2000 metri: restano con il kazalo solo Barguil, Odd Christian Eiking (Wanty – Gobert Cycling Team) e il suo compagno di squadre Hugo Houle.
Niente da fare, invece, per il campioncino Mathieu Van Der Poe (Corendon – Circus)l, che si stacca e si vede costretto a togliersi di dosso la maglia di leader. Davanti il favorito numero uno per la vittoria di giornata sembra il francese dell’Arkéa , ma il 24enne idolo di casa Eiking si toglie tutti di ruota con un’azione di forza e giunge in solitaria sul traguardo del Monte Storheia. Alle sue spalle, Barguil paga 5” ma si consola con la maglia di leader. Chiude il podio uno sfinito Lutsenko.
