El australiano Cadel Evans (BMC) es el nuevo líder del Tour Down Under, prueba inaugural del UCI World Tour, tras apuntarse en solitario la tercera etapa sobre 145 kilómetros entre Norwood y Campbelltown, que tuvo el puerto de Montacute -altimetría adjunta- a menos de 10 kilómetros del final.
Evans fue el mejor en la última ascensión tras dejar a su compatriota Richie Porte (Sky) y en el descenso aventajó a sus rivales, destronando del maillot naranja de líder a Simon Gerrans (Orica), en una casi repetición del pasado Campeonato de Australia con los mismos protagonistas. Antes anularon una escapada compuesta por Voigt (TFR), Meyer (DPC), Cousin (EUC) y Grivko (AST).
Tras el líder del BMC y exganador del Tour de Francia aventajó en 15 segundos a un grupo de 15 unidades, liderado por otro local, Nathan Haas (Garmin). No hubo españoles protagonistas en el final. El primero fue el valenciano del Movistar Rubén Plaza, 27º a 1:00 de Evans. La noticia negativa fue la pérdida del maillot al mejor joven de Carlos Verona en beneficio de Thierry Elissonde, el ganador en la etapa del Angliru.
«Sabía que tenía la oportunidad en la subida a Corkscrew y lo que tenía que hacer. Mi equipo hizo un trabajo fantástico. Es maravilloso volver a correr en Australia y ganar, pero la general aún no está decidida«, dijo Evans.
Ahora Evans tiene doce segundos de ventaja sobre el anterior líder, Simon Gerrans, 15 respecto a Ulissi, 27 a Haas y 29 sobre el holandés Robert Gesink. Plaza es tambien el primer español de la general, el el puesto 21º a 1:18.
Este viernes, cuarta etapa entre Unley y Victor Harbor sobre 148,5 kilómetros, ideal para una llegada masiva.
