Anteprima Nokere Koerse 2018

Alla vigilia della grande campagna del Nord, ecco la Nokere Koerse 2018, semiclassica belga in programma mercoledì 14 marzo. Nata nel 1944 e attualmente classificata 1.HC, la corsa, giunta alla 71^ edizione, vanta un solo italiano nell’albo d’oro – Francesco Chicchi, primo nel 2012 – mentre a vincere lo scorso anno è stato il francese Nacer Bouhanni.

 Diretta tv su Eurosport dalle ore 15.

 Ci troviamo nelle Fiandre Orientali: si parte da Deinze e si arriva, dopo 191 km, a Nokere. La prima parte del tracciato (70 km) è in linea ed è caratterizzata dalle scalate a Vossenhol e Nokereberg (due volte). Proprio quest’ultima (400 metri al 6%) è il punto focale del circuito successivo, lungo 14 km e da ripetere quattro volte. A questo punto non c’è l’arrivo, bensì è previsto – novità rispetto al recente passato – un ultimo anello di 29 km da affrontare due volte. In quest’ultima parte sono previsti cinque nuovi tratti in pavé: De Lange Ast, Huisedorp, Huisepontweg, Wannegemdorp e Kouterstraat, che renderanno più aspra la corsa, spesso appannaggio dei velocisti. Ora dovranno conquistarselo il successo, gli sprinter.
