“The Women’s Tour U.C.I. WWT”: bis di Lorena Wiebes. Balsamo sul podio

Bis di Lorena Wiebes al “The Women’s Tour”, gara a tappe internazionale inserita tra le prove dell’U.C.I. Women’s World Tour 2021. La forte sprinter olandese, dominatrice della quarta tappa, si è imposta anche nella quinta frazione, corsa sulla distanza di 95,4 chilometri spalmati tra le località britanniche di Colchester e di Clacton. La rappresentante del Team DSM ha battuto in volata la campionessa del mondo Elisa Balsamo (Valcar – Travel & Service), al primo podio con la nuova maglia iridata, e la connazionale olandese Marjolein Van ‘T Geloof (Drops). Per i colori azzurri da sottolineare anche la sesta piazza della veneta di Bassano del Grappa Sofia Bertizzolo (Liv Racing) ed il settimo posto dell’ex campionessa del mondo Marta Bastianelli (Alè – BTC Ljubljana), già vincitrice della frazione d’apertura.

Nessun cambiamento in classifica generale, dove l’olandese Demi Vollering (SD Worx), dominatrice della cronometro individuale valevole come terza frazione, mantiene 1’09” di vantaggio sulla francese Juliette Labous (Team DSM) ed 1’16” sulla talentuosa transalpina Clara Copponi (FDJ Nouvelle Aquitaine Futuroscope). Lorena Wiebes balza in testa alla graduatoria generale a punti, mentre l’elvetica Elise Chabbey (Canyon // SRAM Racing) è la più forte tra le scalatrici. (Foto di Flaviano Ossola)
