USA Pro Challenge 2014: etap 4

Włoch Elia Viviani (Cannondale) na trasie ze startem i metą w Colorado Springs wygrał czwarty etap USA Pro Challenge. Koszulkę lidera zachował Amerykanin Tejay van Garderen (BMC).

Na trasie już od początku etapu zawiązała się 12-osobowa ucieczka, w składzie której znalazł się 42-letni Jens Voigt (Trek Factory Racing). Kończący karierę zawodnik był jedynym uciekinierem, który zdołał utrzymać się na czele i na ostatnie 40 kilometrów wjechał ponad dwie minuty przed peletonem.

W trasie ostatniej ucieczki w swojej karierze Niemiec kręcił dzielnie, próbując po raz ostatni dotrzeć do mety przed pościgiem. Akcja wyglądała początkowo dobrze – doświadczony kolarz włączył wszystkie silniki i ruszył na metę w Colorado Springs.

“Jensie” wjechał na ostatnie 10 kilometrów z minutą przewagi nad niewielkim peletonikiem, który spowalniali jego koledzy z ekipy. 42-letniej legendzie szło jednak coraz ciężej – przewaga spadała z kilometra na kilometr i dzielnego uciekiniera złapano 800 metrów przed metą. Niemiec przyjął porażkę z uśmiechem – na metę wjechał za peletonem, dziękując kibicom i prezentując klubowe barwy.

Finisz z grupy wygrał pewnie Viviani, bez trudu ogrywając rywali, wśród których nie było w zasadzie rasowych sprinterów.
