Tour de France 2018, Groenewegen si sveglia a Chartres

L’avevamo invano atteso nelle prime frazioni, Dylan Groenewegen finalmente si sveglia nella settima tappa del Tour de France 2018: va allo sprinter della LottoNL – Jumbo il traguardo di Chartres, dove l’olandese si lascia dietro Fernando Gaviria (Quick Step Floors) e Peter Sagan (Bora – Hansgrohe). Invariata la generale.

È la frazione più lunga di questa 105^ edizione, dall’alto dei suoi 231 km, ma di certo non si può annoverare tra le più impegnative, essendo praticamente nulle le difficoltà altimetriche dalla partenza da Fougeres. Si prospettano lunghe ore di calma, e la conferma arriva dal fatto che, dopo un non riuscito tentativo di fuga di diversi uomini, c’è un solo uomo che va in avanscoperta dal km 35: è Yoann Offredo (Wanty – Groupe Gobert).

Il plotone non si cura di un solo corridore al comando, quindi permette al transalpino di guadagnare fino a nove minuti di vantaggio. Quando, come già accaduto ieri, a cento chilometri all’arrivo imperversa del vento laterale, la Ag2R La Mondiale va a forzare il ritmo, fratturando il gruppo in più tronconi: tutti gli elementi si ricompattano dopo qualche chilometro, con la conseguenza che il vantaggio di Offredo viene completamene annullato.

Ritornata la quiete, a partire è Laurent Pichon (Fortuneo – Samsic), che approfitta dell’andatura molto tranquilla di chi insegue per guadagnare vantaggio fino all’assorbimento ai meno trentacinque. Tutto da rifare, dunque: è monotonia fino alle fasi finali, quando si preparano le squadre degli sprinter in attesa della volata. Quick Step Floors davanti all’ultimo chilometro, ma a sorprendere il favorito Gaviria è Groenewegen, il vincitore dei Campi Elisi nel 2017.

Terzo posto per Sagan davanti ad Aruand Démare (Groupama – FDJ). Ancora in top ten Andrea Pasqualon (Wanty – Groupe Gobert). Non cambia nulla in classifica generale: Greg Van Avermaet (Bmc) resta in maglia gialla.
