Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2018: etap 1. Zwycięstwo Danny’ego Van Poppela, wysoko Kwiatkowski

Danny Van Poppel (LottoNL – Jumbo) zwycięstwem w Peñiscoli otworzył 69. edycję wyścigu Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.

Holender pokonał na ostatnich metrach Lukę Mezgeca (Mitchelton-Scott) i Jurgena Roelandtsa (BMC Racing).

Na 7. miejscu finiszował Michał Kwiatkowski (Team Sky).

Po 20 kilometrach etapu wykrystalizowała się czteroosobowa ucieczka w składzie: Francisco Mancebo (Inteja Dominican), Jose Manuel Diaz (Israel Cycling Academy), Ibai Salas (Burgos-BH) i Paul Ourselin (Direct Energie). Po przejechaniu 48 kilometrów eskapada miała 4 minuty i 55 sekund przewagi nad peletonem.

Za pracę w głównej grupie wzięła się ekipa Direct Energie, za jej sprawą po przejechaniu 145 kilometrów przewaga spadła do 1 minuty i 22 sekund. Mimo szybkiego tempa peletonu uciekinierzy dzielnie walczyli, ale ostatecznie zostali złapani na 18 kilometrów przed metą.

W tym momencie rządy w peletonie przejęły Team Sky i LottoNL – Jumbo, które postanowiły doprowadzić rywalizację do finałowego sprintu. Na 2 kilometry przed metą doszło do kraksy. Oderwał się wówczas Gianni Moscon (Team Sky), jednak szarża Włocha została przed finiszem z grupy zgaszona.

What a sprint 🚴🌬
