El australiano Richie Porte (Sky) se quedó a medias en la quinta etapa del Tour Down Under, tras los 151,5 kilómetros con finan en la cima de Old Willunga Hill (perfil). Y es que el reciente campeón australiano contrarreloj individual -a pesar del efecto de su dieta y sus 7 kilos menos- no pudo destronar del liderato a Rohan Dennis, ganador de la 3ª etapa y líder sólido a falta del circuito final en Adelaida.
Y el tercer protagonista fue el murciano del Movistar, Rubén Fernández, exganador del Tour Porvenir 2013 y uno de los cuatro fichajes del equipo que dirige Eusebio Unzué. A sus 23 años (24 el 1 de marzo) confirma su buena preparación invernal y ya es quinto en la general, lo que le deja perfectamente colocado para terminar el domingo entre los diez mejores de la primera prueba puntuable del UCI World Tour. Un corredor sin duda favorito para pugnar por el TOP Ciclo 21 entre los menores de 25 años y que ya lidera virtualmente sin, de momento, competencia. Gorka Izagirre, noveno en la cumbre y en la general, completó el día de los españoles y de su equipo Movistar, que lidera la clasificación colectiva.
La jornada se decidió en el segundo ascenso a Willunga Hill con grupo de cabeza compuesto por apenas 25 corredores. A poco más de un kilómetro para la meta, Porte lanzó una seca estocada que Dennis aguantó, pero no así la segunda, a medio kilómetro, para imponerse en la llegada, pero sin premio doble. El corredor del Sky se coloca a 2 segundos de uno de los dos próximos aspirantes al récord de la hora, mientras que su jefe de filas, el próximo retirado Cadel Evans es tercero a 20 segundos. Será el presumible podio final.
La ronda australiana celebra mañana su sexta y última etapa sobre 90 kilómetros urbanos en Adelaida.
