Alla vigilia della Milano-Sanremo, ecco un primo antipasto di quel che sarà la grande Campagna del Nord: stiamo parlando della Nokere Koerse 2019, semiclassica belga in programma mercoledì 20 marzo. Nata nel 1944 e attualmente classificata 1.HC, la corsa, giunta alla 72^ edizione, vanta un solo italiano nell’albo d’oro, Francesco Chicchi, primo nel 2012. A vincere nel 2017 è stato il francese Nacer Bouhanni, mentre nel 2018 si è imposto l’olandese Fabio Jakobsen.
Diretta tv su Eurosport dalle ore 15.30.
Ci troviamo nelle Fiandre Orientali: si parte da Deinze e si arriva, dopo 195 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 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.
Ecco tutte le asperità da affrontare:
Vossenhol (71 m, 1.0 Km at 3.1%, Km 30.0),
Finish Line (start first circuit) (52 m, 0.4 Km at 2.9%, Km 54.9),
Lap 1 (start 2nd circuit) (52 m, 0.4 Km at 3.1%, Km 82.0),
Lap 1 (52 m, 0.4 Km at 3.1%, Km 96.2), Lap 2 (52 m, 0.4 Km at 3.1%, Km 110.4),
Lap 3 (start final circuit) (54 m, 0.4 Km at 3.6%, Km 124.6),
Lap 1 (52 m, 0.4 Km at 3.1%, Km 160.3),
Lap 2 (53 m, 0.4 Km at 3.4%, Arrive)
