Nel bel mezzo della settimana santa del ciclismo, a cavallo tra Fiandre e Roubaix, ecco lo Scheldeprijs 2019, classica belga 1.HC di scena mercoledì 10 aprile. Corsa antichissima, nata nel 1907 con la denominazione di GP de l’Escaut, è oggi organizzata dalla Flanders Classic, che si appresta a dar vita all’edizione numero 106.
Il tedesco Marcel Kittel è il pluricampione (cinque successi), mentre il campione uscente risponde al nome di Fabio Jakobsen. Sono pochi atleti italiani sono riusciti ad imporsi: tra questi, i due successi di Mario Cipollini (’91/’93), Rossano Brasi nel 1995, Endrio Leoni nel biennio 2000/2001 e Alessandro Petacchi nel 2009.
Diretta tv su Eurosport dalle ore 15.00
Sono 203 i km in programma per quella che è unanimemente considerata una classica per velocisti. Lungo il tragitto da compiere da Terneuzen (situata nelle Fiandre neerlandesi) a Schoten (tradizionale arrivo) sono poche le insidie da affrontare. Qualche breve tratto in pavé, infatti, non pregiudica la ghiotta possibilità da parte degli sprinter di giocarsi il successo. A seguire l’altimetria e la planimetria, in basso info sulla startlist.
Ecco le 23 squadre prendenti parte allo Scheldeprijs 2018: 11 WorldTour (Katusha-Alpecin, Bora-Hansgrohe, Deceuninck, Lotto Soudal, Dimension Data, LottoNL-Jumbo, Team Sky, Team Sunweb, Trek-Segafredo, UAE Team Emirates, EF Drapac) e 11 Professional (Cofidis, Arkea-Samsic, Corendon-Circus, Israel Cycling Academy, Roompot, SportVlaanderen-Baloise, Veranda’s Willems, Vital Concept, Wanty-Gobert, Wallonie Bruxelles, Riwal Readynez).
