Anteprima Kuurne – Bruxelles – Kuurne 2018

A conclusione del weekend di apertura del calendario belga, ecco la Kuurne – Bruxelles – Kuurne 2018: l’appuntamento è fissato per domenica 25 febbraio per la 70^ edizione della Classica, il cui record di vittorie (tre) appartiene a Tom Boonen. Ad aggiudicarsi l’edizione 2017 è stato Peter Sagan.

 Diretta tv su Eurosport 2 dalle ore 16.

 Delle tante prove di spessore che si disputano in Belgio, quella in questione è senz’altro la meno impegnativa, dal momento che tante volte si è conclusa con una volata a ranghi piuttosto numerosi. Sono 200 i km da percorrere, con partenza e arrivo nel piccolo comune situato nelle Fiandre Occidentali e transito per la capitale del Paese a metà gara.

Non mancano i muri tipici di queste terre (undici, per la precisione), ma sono comunque lontani dal traguardo, per cui molto spesso non si rivelano determinanti. Tra questi spicca l’Oude Kwaremont, a metà gara, mentre l’ultima asperità è il Nokereberg, ai meno cinquanta dal termine. A seguire l’altimetria, in basso info sulla startlist.

 16 WorldTour (Ag2r La Mondiale, Astana, Bahrain – Merida, Bora – hansgrohe, BMC, Dimension Data, EF Education First – Drapac p/b Cannondale, FDJ, Katusha – Alpecin, LottoNL – Jumbo, Lotto Soudal, Mitchelton – Scott, Quick-Step Floors, Team Sky, Trek – Segafredo, UAE Team Emirates); 9 Professional (Cofidis, Direct Energie, Fortuneo – Samsic, Israel Cycling Academy, Roompot – Nederlandse Loterij, Sport Vlaanderen – Baloise, Wanty – Groupe Gobert, WB Veranclassic – AquaProtect, Vérandas Willems – Crelan): queste le squadre prendenti parte alla KBK 2018.
