Entre el ruido mediático de la resolución de antiguos y enquistados casos de dopaje, el goteo de noticias confirmando fichajes y cambios de equipo o los planes vacacionales de las grandes figuras del pelotón internacional, la isla de Hainan sigue vibrando con el Tour de ese mismo nombre y en el que los mejores segundas espadas en lo que a los sprints se refiere están teniendo una gran oportunidad de lucimiento para tratar de ganarse alguno de los últimos huecos disponibles en equipos World Tour.

El pelotón afrontaba hoy la etapa más larga de la prueba oriental con la que se ha abierto la nueva temporada ciclista y que coincidía hoy con la presentación oficial de la que, en el mes de julio, será la gran cita central de todo este circo.

Pese a los interminables 231 kilómetros que tenían por delante, fueron muchos los corredores que trataron de abrir hueco desde el primer momento. Finalmente, tras 15 kilómetros de muchos intentos, el pelotón dio permiso a un sexteto formado por Wang Bo (Hengxiang), Tyler Williams (Israel Cycling Academy), Jiang Zhihui (Mitchelton-BikeExchange), Sam Brand (Novo Nordisk), Kohei Yokotsuka (Team Ukyo) y Nur Mazuki (Terengganu).

El gran grupo, sabedor de que la extensión de la etapa jugaba a su favor, dejó hacer a los seis de cabeza que llegaron a rozar los siete minutos de ventaja antes de que el pelotón comenzara a despertar y reaccionar. Efectivamente, el esfuerzo fue minando las fuerzas de la fuga, que fue perdiendo unidades hasta que a algo menos de 40 kilómetros para la línea de meta fue Williams el que se deshizo del resto de sus compañeros y se marchó en solitario buscando la meta de Quionghai.

El de Israel Cycling Academy fue neutralizado ya en la parte final de la etapa. Así, se lanzó el previsible sprint en el que los jueces, tras una ajustadísima llegada que precisó de echar mano de la foto finish, decidieron dar como ganador al italiano Manuel Belletti (Androni Giocatolli-Sidermec), cuya rueda delantera superó, por milímetros, a la del neerlandés Raymond Kreder (Team Ukyo) y en la que el líder, Dylan Page (Suiza), fue tercero.
