Anteprima E3 Harelbeke 2018

Le grandi Classiche del Nord facenti parte del calendario WorldTour vengono inaugurate dall’E3 Harelbeke 2018, in programma venerdì 23 marzo. Sarà la 61^ edizione di una corsa nata nel 1960, che ha in Tom Boonen il recordman della manifestazione con tre successi e in Greg Van Avemaret il campione uscente, succeduto nell’albo d’oro al polacco Michal Kwiatkowski. Filippo Pozzato l’unico italiano capace di imporsi (era il 2009).

 Diretta tv su Eurosport dalle ore 16.

 Sono 206 i km da affrontare con partenza ed arrivo ad Harelbeke, cittadina sita nelle Fiandre. Conosciuta come la “piccola Ronde”, la corsa è caratterizzata dalla presenza di quindici muri e nove tratti in pavé che la rendono davvero selettiva. Decisiva la parte tra i -45 e i -35 km con il trittico Kapelberg-Paterberg-Oude Kwaremont, mentre l’ultimo strappo, il Tiegemberg, è posizionato a venti chilometri all’arrivo: fare selezione in questa fase è possibile e doveroso, ma non sarà facile proseguire dritti fin sul traguardo. Di seguito l’elenco di muri e pavé, l’altimetria e la planimetria. In basso info sulla startlist.

 Alle 18 WorldTour ammesse di diritto, prendono parte al GP Harelbeke 2018 le 7 Professional SportVlaanderen-Baloise, Wanty-Gobert, Veranda’s Willems-Crelan, WB Veranclassic Aqua Protect, Roompot, Direct Energie e Vital Concept.

Entrano in scena gli specialisti del Nord e del pavé in particolare. Tanti i nomi pronti a contendersi la Classica, a partire da Greg Van Avermaet (Bmc) e Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) usciti sconfitti alla Sanremo. E poi troviamo Oliver Naesen (Ag2R La Mondiale), il trio Quick Step Philippe Gilbert-Zdenek Stybar-Niki Terpstra, Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ), Tiesj Benoot (Lotto Soudal), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates), Michael Matthews (Sunweb), Sep Vanmarcke (EF Drapac), Lars Boom (LottoNL-Jumbo), John Degenkolb (Trek-Segafredo).

Le speranze dell’Italia sono concentrate su tre uomini: Gianni Moscon (Team Sky), Matteo Trentin (Mitchelton – Scott) e Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain – Merida). Non dimentichiamo neppure Oscar Gatto (Astana) e Alberto Bettiol, che dovrà comunque sottostare ai doveri di gregariato nei confronti di GVA.
