Anteprima Druivenkoers – Overijse 2017

Nata nel 1961 ed inizialmente classificata come criterium, la Druivenkoers – Overijse 2017 è la 57^ edizione di una corsa in linea, oggi parte del calendario belga e dell’Uci Europe Tour (1.1), in programma mercoledì 23 agosto.

Il maggior numero di vittorie spetta ai corridori di casa Roger De Vlaeminck e Björn Leukemans (quattro ciascuno, quest’ultimo in grado di aggiudicarsele consecutivamente), mentre il vincitore delle ultime due edizioni è l’altro atleta di casa Jerome Baugnies. Di Walter Dalgal, nel 1983, l’unico successo azzurro, ma nel 2015 e nel 2016 sul podio salì Marco Marcato.

 Siamo ad Overijse, comune di venticinquemila abitanti (che deve il suo nome al passaggio del fiume Ijse al suo interno) situato nella Provincia del Brabante Fiammingo, in Belgio. I chilometri complessivi sono 196.4, suddivisi in un primo grande circuito di 31 km (da ripetere per tre volte) ed un secondo anello, di 12.9 km, da affrontare per otto volte.

Non mancano alcune cotes tipiche di questi territori: ce ne sono ben 32, che rendono il tracciato decisamente ostico. Nel primo circuito bisogna affrontarne cinque, nel secondo soltanto due, ma tra queste spicca lo Schavei (750 metri al 5.6%, con punte all’11%, scalato annualmente alla Freccia del Brabante) a soli 2 km al traguardo. Di seguito l’altimetria del grande circuito e del piccolo circuito, più la planimetria generale. In basso informazioni sulla startlist.

 Sono diciotto le squadre al via: 2 WorldTeams (Lotto – Soudal, Team Lotto NL – Jumbo); 5 Professional (Roompot – Nederlandse Loterij, Sport Vlaanderen – Baloise, Veranda’s Willems-Crelan, Wanty – Groupe Gobert, WB Veranclassic Aqua Protect); 11 Continental (AGO – Aqua Service, An Post Chain Reaction, Beobank – Corendon, Cibel-Cebon, Joker Icopal, Madison Genesis, Metec-TKH Continental Cyclingteam p/b Mantel, Pauwels Sauzen – Vastgoedservice Continental Team, T.Palm Pôle Continental Wallon, Tarteletto – Isorex, Team Wiggins).

L’attenzione dell’Italia è concentrata sulla Nippo-Vini Fantini, che schiera Marco Canola e Iuri Filosi. In campo internazionale spiccano Wout Van Aert (Verandas Willems), Jelle Vanendert (Lotto Soudal), Pieter Weening (Roompot) e il bicampione uscente Jerome Baugnies (Wanty-Gobert).
