ARCTIC RACE OF NORWAY, TAPPA AD HOELGAARD. PRIMATO AL CARDIOPALMA A LUTSENKO
Markus Hoelgaard vince l’ultima frazione della corsa a tappe norvegese. Lutsenko riesce a conquistare la classifica generale per un solo secondo
Non sono mancati i colpi di scena nell’ultima tappa della corsa fra i fiordi. La fuga di giornata tarda ad arrivare ed è solo ai -75 che un drappello riesce a prendera un buon margine sul grosso del plotone. Ad avvantaggiarsi sono in cinque – Tom-Jelte Slagter (Dimension Data), Jonas Hvideberg (Uno-X Norwegian Development Team), Pascal Eenkhoorn (Jumbo-Visma), Andreas Vangstad (Joker Fuel of Norway) e Tom Van Asbroeck (Israel Cycling) – ma il loro tentativo viene vanificato al terzultimo passaggio sulla salita che caratterizza il circuito di Narvik.
Ai -10 avviene la svolta che risulterà decisiva per la classifica finale, quando Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) e Warren Barguil (Arkéa Samsic) approfittano della situazione di gruppo compatto per darsì danno battaglia per lo sprint intermedio, vinto dal portacolori dell’Astana. I due non si rialzano e tirano dritto, ma ai -6 dal traguardo arriva l’attacco di Markus Hoelgaard (Uno-X Norwegian Development Team), che raggiunge la testa della corsa e si invola verso il successo di tappa.
Alle sue spalle il più veloce è il connazionale Amund Grøndal Jansen (Jumbo-Visma), che con uno sprint lunghissimo tenta disperatamente di raggiungere Hoelgaard, riuscendo nell’intento ma poi si deve accontentare della piazza d’onore. Al cardiopalma la lotta per la classifica finale: terzo si piazza Lutsenko davanti a Barguil, che però taglia la linea d’arrivo un secondo più tardi. Tale secondo, sommato all’abbuono del traguardo volante e quello del terzo posto all’arrivo, permette così al portacolori kazako di strappare la maglia di leader al francese e ad imporsi nella classifica finale proprio per la misura d’un misero secondo.
