9ª Tour Hainan: Masnada redondea el año de Androni

Fausto Masnada, primera general por etapas para su palmarés en el © Tour of Hainan

Después de salir prácticamente a líder por día, el penúltimo fue el definitivo. Fausto Masnada (Androni Giocattoli) se ha convertido en el ganador final del Tour de Hainan 2018 tras vestirse de amarillo en el día de ayer. El italiano completa una brillantísima temporada 2018 para la escuadra de Gianni Savio, que culmina con 35 victorias tras sumar cuatro etapas y la general en esta ronda china. Otros éxitos de prestigio como el Memorial Marco Pantani y el Trofeo Matteotti, una etapa en la Vuelta a Aragón y la general de la Vuelta a Burgos con Iván Ramiro Sosa, donde además conquistó dos triunfos parciales, adornan la campaña del equipo transalpino.

El podio El podio final queda completado por el prometedor suizo Gino Mader -cuarto sub-23 en Innsbruck, los dos próximos años será corredor de Dimension Data- y el francés Julien El Farès (Delko-Marsella) tras una etapa final en la que otro suizo, Simon Pellaud, partió de la fuga en los últimos kilómetros para imponerse y evitar una nueva y prevista llegada masiva.

182 kilómetros sin grandes dificultades orográficas pusieron fin al Tour de Hainan 2018. Los primeros en adoptar una ventaja susceptible de ser catalogada como fuga fueron Lorenzo Rota (Bardiani CSF), Jason Lea (Bennelong Swisswelness), Harrison Sweeny (Mitchelton-BikeExchange), Peter Schulting (Monkey Town), Edwin Parra (Ningxia Livall), Alan Marangoni (Nippo-Vini Fantini) y Simon Pellaud (Swiss Cycling), que partieron del pelotón integrados en un grupo de 13 unidades.

Con el control de Androni para proteger al líder, Masnada, la fuga no se marchó más de dos minutos. Sin hombres que pudieran hacer peligrar el triunfo final del italiano, los seis escapados -sin el descolgado Lea- se encontraron con la permisividad del pelotón, al que a 10 kilómetros de meta aventajaban en apenas un minuto.

El gran grupo no terminaba de echarles el lazo y el suizo Pellaud lanzó un ataque a poco más de un kilómetro que le sirvió para marcharse en solitario y hacerse con el triunfo en la última etapa para una selección helvética que, junto a Androni y Bardiani, ha sido una de las grandes animadoras de la prueba china.
