1ª Lago Taihu: Benfatto sigue en racha

Redacción / Ciclo 21

Marco Benfatto (Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec) se ha impuesto en la primera etapa de la Vuelta al Lago Taihu, de 88.8 kilómetros con salida y llegada en la localidad de Wuxi. El italiano ha sido el más rápido al sprint por delante de Dylan Kennett (St. George), nuevo líder en detrimento de Mathias Brändle, ganador del prólogo.

Se trata de la sexta victoria de Benfatto esta temporada (la 29ª del Androni Giocattoli), todas en el continente asiático, y las cinco últimas en China y en el plazo de un mes. La estadística de Benfatto no tiene igual en el pelotón europeo: suma 21 triunfos como profesional y todos en el UCI Asia Tour y con el maillot de Androni. Después de cinco temporadas la estructura de Gianni Savio, la próxima campaña defenderá los colores de Bardiani.

El mejor español en la primera etapa de la Vuelta al Lago Taihu ha sido el alicantino Manuel Peñalver (Burgos-BH), que se ha quedado encerrado en la llegada masiva y ha cruzado la línea de meta en décima posición. «Han lanzado a falta de cuatro kilómetros la llegada. Iban comandando el pelotón, pero se les ha hecho largo y son sprints muy locos, donde se abre mucho la llegada. Estoy contento porque han trabajado todos muy bien y si seguimos en esta línea llegará alguna alegría», comentó el director José Cabedo. Por su parte, Óscar Sevilla (Medellín) es el mejor español en la general, quinto clasificado a 19 segundos del líder Kennett.
