Gand-Wevelgem 2020: percorso, startlist, guida tv

Pietra miliare della prima parte della Campagna del Nord, la Gand-Wevelgem 2020 vivrà, domenica 11 ottobre, un’insolita 82^ edizione. Tanti i nomi eccellenti nell’albo d’oro, compreso il grande tris firmato da Re Leone Mario Cipollini. Nel 2016, anno della tragedia di Antoine Demoitie, l’acuto di Peter Sagan, nel 2017 ad imporsi fu Greg Van Avermaet, nel 2018 di nuovo Sagan pose la sua ruota davanti a tutti, nel 2019 fu la volta di Alexander Kristoff.

 Diretta tv su Eurosport Player dalle ore 13.30.

 Il percorso della Gand prevede 238 i chilometri senza alcuno sconfinamento nelle Fiandre francesi a causa dei protocolli sanitari per il Covid-19. Questa Classica organizzata da Flanders Classic, notoriamente considerata la meno selettiva tra le prove del pavé, negli ultimi anni ha provveduto via via ad indurire il tracciato.

Partenza da Ypres e primi 140 chilometri tranquilli, prima di cominciare a scalare i muri in programma, l’ultimo dei quali, il Kemmelberg, a trentacinque chilometri all’arrivo. I velocisti restano i maggiori indiziati alla vittoria.

Di seguito i profili tecnici (altimetria e planimetria), in basso info sulla startlist.

 Accanto alle 19 squadre WorldTour, gli organizzatori hanno chiamato 7 wild card del mondo delle Professional: sono le francesi Total Direct Energie e B&B Vital Concept, e le belghe Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise, Circus-Wanty Gobert, Alpecin-Fenix e Bingoal WB.

Tra i papabili alla vittoria, ricordiamo il campione uscente Alexander Kristoff, Sam Bennett, Caleb Ewan, Pascal Ackermann, Mads Pedersen, Tiesj Benoot, Wout Van Aert e Mathieu Van Der Poel. Tra gli italiani, ricordiamo Sonny Colbrelli, Matteo Trentin e Alberto Bettiol.
