Anteprima Gand-Wevelgem 2016

La grande Campagna del Nord, cominciata con il GP E3 Harelbeke, prosegue nel giorno di Pasqua, domenica 27 marzo, con la Gand-Wevelgem 2016. Dodici mesi dopo il memorabile successo di Luca Paolini, eccoci alla 78^ edizione di una corsa (WorldTour) che vede, nell’albo d’oro, anche il triplice sigillo di Mario Cipollini.

 Gent-Wevelgem 2016: diretta su Bike Channel a partire dalle ore 14.30.

 Da Deinze, Fiandre Orientali, a Wevelgem, Fiandre Occidentali, per 241.3 km di gara. È notoriamente la meno insidiosa delle classiche del pavé, perché malgrado i dieci muri posti lungo il percorso – l’ultimo dei quali, il Kammelberg, a oltre 30 km al traguardo, sono spesso i velocisti a contendersi la vittoria. In basso altimetria e planimetria.

 I 18 team WorldTour ammessi di diritto saranno affiancati da 7 wild card, tra le quali spicca l’italiana Bardiani-Csf.

Abbiamo detto che sono gli uomini veloci i maggiori indiziati  festeggiare sul traguardo di Wevelgem. Ecco i loro nomi: l’eterno secondo di questo 2016 Peter Sagan (Tinkoff), Alexander Kristoff (Katusha), Andre Greipel (Lotto Soudal), Fernando Gaviria (Etixx-Quick Step), Arnaud Démare (FDJ), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Elia Viviani (Team Sky), Sacha Modolo (Lampre-Merida), Matti Breschel (Cannondale), Bryan Coquard (Direct Energie), Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek-Segafredo) e  Sonny Colbrelli (Bardiani-Csf).

Ma lo scorso anno non fu volata perché un’azione portata avanti da alcuni uomini – tra i quali il vincitore Luca paolini – costrinse il gruppo ad alzare bandiera bianca, complici anche le difficili condizioni meteorologiche che resero l’inseguimento più problematico. Ed è in quest’ottica che, oltre al già citato Sagan, vanno ricordati lo sfortunatissimo protagonista di Harelbeke Fabian Cancellara (Trek-Segafredo), Greg Van Avermaet (BMC), Sep Vanmarcke (LottoNL-Jumbo), Lars Boom (Astana),  Jens Keukelaire (Orica-greenEDGE), Ian Stannard (Team Sky), Kenny Dehaes (Wanty-Groupe Gobert).
